You have hit the nail on the head about SSDI. I have been unable to work since 2004 due to a cervical neck issue. I am in pain constantly and take 2 naproxen 8 times a day for relief instaed of viciodin 850. SSDI says I am able to do my job as a construction superintendent according to the national economy. I would like to know where they are living, surely not in the United States with our current unemployment rate. They say we just had only 428,000 new claims last week not including all those who are already out of work. Plus if I could work I would enjoy getting my old wages of over $75,000.00 a year. To bad all the help is going to the immigrants! What about us born and paid into SS Americians!

Dear God, I’m so sorry that Gayle was not given the treatment she so desperately needed. when is the cruelty of unsocialized healthcare will end. I know that Canada and Britain’s system is not without fault, but no help is unconscionable. Gayle please take good care.

God bless,
Leslie

Thanks for this update. We have a couple of friends who are trying to work thru the system due to similar circumstances, also with little avail. It’s definitely a frustrating situation and it doesn’t look like there is any improvement coming any time soon!

I was in tears when I saw this Video because I’m going through the same exact problems with Social Security Disability! I’m 45 years old but have been working and putting into the System since I was 15 years old! It’s truly Ashame! for people like Ourselves to have to go through what the Social Security Administration put Us through for the help that We are suppose to be entitled to! God Bless You! I’ll be Praying for You and I really Pray that the President or somebody who on his Staff get to here this message and do something about this situation! Also, Please keep me in Pray too as I continue to Fight for My Rights with Social Security Disability too! Thanks
