I am currently receiving public assistance. I tried to once
some time ago apply for disability only to be disqualified.
My pa case was closed because I did not comply with work
program, meaning I didn't show for an appt w/work program
caseworker. I already went through this procedure and was
examined by their and SSA's doctors and found unfit to
work. I have uncontrolled hypertension and extremely
chronic asthma, which I had all my life (asthma). In fact,
as a child I was receiving disability from SSA for the same
thing. Now some days are good days but in this day and age
no employer wants to be understanding about someone who has
to call out sick every month, even if you have
documentation to prove it. I am now 41 years old which
makes my chances of getting a new job every month even
less. I don't know why no one else has the same logic about
this. It's not my fault I was born with a chronic
condition. Just because I can walk, talk, see and hear
doesn't mean that I am not disabled. Is there anything I
can do to defend my case. I keep going to fair hearings
when my case is closed. Then my case is reopened and no
sooner than a few weeks I get the another appt for the work
program. It's a vicious circle I'd like to put an end to.
If I didn't have to spend so much time defending myself, I
could figure out how to do some kind of work from home. I
sincerely appreciate your comments and suggestions. Thanks
for reading.
