Back in 2009, I documented my success in applying for Social
Security – Disability (SS-D). Since then I received numerous emails from users
of this process thanking me for the posts and the SS-D Guide. Today I received
another thank you from a gentleman in Texas who used the process. I want to
share his success as well as provide links to the articles and guide for those
considering SS-D.
“Bruce, Thank you for your 20 page SS-D
publication. I've used quite a few tips
from there.
I was diagnosed with KD in September
2009 at age of 52. I decided to apply
for SSDI in May. I submitted my application (a lot of forms and whatever
medical records I had) to my county SSA Office in person on 05/26/16 and was
given another 8-page form (SSA-3373-BK, Function Report - Adult) which I
completed and mailed. So by 06/03/16 they had all the information.
I received a letter from SSA dated
06/17/16 that I'm entitled to monthly disability benefits beginning November
2016 (required waiting period). That's acceptance in only three weeks from my
initial application and two weeks from the time they had the other form”
Below are three links (the PDF SS-D Guide and the two blog
posts) for those considering applying for Social Security – Disability. Please keep me informed of the results of your application process.

- SocialSecurity Application Process – Part I
- SocialSecurity Application Process – Part II
I have to apply for those benefits soon, too, and I am dreading the process. From what I can read in your post, it looks like you had great success doing it your way. I hope to report back that everything worked out for me just like it did for you. I hope to get it right the first time without issue.

Good luck, Randy. One key to success is to have plenty of documentation of everything that has and is happening to you. Another key is patience. If you are denied, try try again.
