My claim is at the Appeal Council now but I have faith in your company. I know that you all are working hard for me. I get updates from my caseworker Aleesha M. on my case often. I am hoping to hear good news from her soon.

You guys have been wonderful so far. I haven't won my case just yet, but the responsiveness of your staff to my questions far exceeded anything I expected. Thank you, in advance!

I'm very pleased so far how well your staff is with calling back. I am impressed with the turn around time when I receive paperwork etc... I pray that my case will take a shorter time than 18 to 24 months. Not being able to work and having very little income is quite frightening.
I want to tell you all Good Work! I will most definitely recommend you to my other MS friends.
Take Care!

Can I receive Social Sercurity Disability and Long term disability from my job at the same time while I was disable? Since I returned to work Social Sercurity is garnishing my check. I cant make ends meet.

Often times when you have a long term disability policy, they will make you file for Social Security Disability benefits.
Please feel free to complete our free, online questionaire and one of our representatives will be happy to discuss this with you in more detail.

I was a truck driver for 15 years but i have not worked in 5. While on the job, I had back problems (back award) including bulging and degenerating discs. While on the job, i was diagnosed with open angle glaucoma. My night vision quickly changed for the worse and my company would not accomodate me. Could I qualify for SSD? It's been 5 years and I continue to have chronic back pain and limited vision, but I have always had too much pride to attempt getting financial help.

You can qualify for Social Security Disability (SSD) if you have a doctor who will say that you are unable to do any work, not just your previous work. If you are 55 or older, you just need to prove that you cannot do your past work.
The other issue you might have is a Date Last Insured problem (DLI). When you stop working, your eligibility for SSD runs out approximately 5 years after you stop working. You have not been working for 5 years, so your eligibility may have run out already. If it has, you would need to prove that you were disabled prior to that DLI.
I suggest you contact the Social Security Administration and get your DLI. Once you have that, you will need to ensure that your doctor supports your disability before that date.
Please feel free to contact us after you obtain your DLI and we will see if we can help you.
You can complete our free, online questionnaire and we will give you a call back to discuss your case.
