        This board has been a wealth of information for me over the last 4.5 years and, while I rarely post, I still come here several times a week to see what is going on. BY FAR, the positive responses that I have received to this post have greatly outweighed the one negative response and, for that I would like to say thank you! I choose to ignore and feel sorry for the ANON poster- one bad apple doesn’t spoil the whole bunch. Thanks!

            Charlie: Once again, thank you. The information that you provided is extremely helpful, not only to me, but, I would think, to a lot of the people on this board. It is important to understand and know our rights!

            One thing that I did learn from a quick review of the websites that you provided: if, in fact, you are NED, Social Security allows at least 3 years, from the date of being absence of disease, to continue with disability benefits. Hopefully, I read that correctly.

                Charlie: Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I have already started to review the website and it is just what I needed to become more informed and to understand better what I might be facing. I think that the website could be useful to a lot of people here- except for the Anon poster because “having one’s head up their ass”, unfortunately, is not a qualifying condition. Thanks again!

                    Thanks for the perspective and good luck with your scans! 🙂

                    I like your saying and you are right: You can’t fix stupid!

                        Thank you for the response and the suggestions. I am not sure what is wrong with that poster to suggest that I would try to deceive the govt merely because I was asking for advice.! SS does not base their decision on only the paperwork that I fill out- they contact each and every one of my doctors for medical records before reaching their decision- which is the way it should be, in my opinion. Thanks again!

                            Wow…..now I remember why I don’t post on this board. I chose not to bore you all with all of the details regarding the last 4 years- I was just looking for some advice- which I have seen others do on this board and thought that was the purpose of this board. You are a very bitter person, whoever you are. Obviously, I came to the wrong place.
