Social Security
According to the SS link I read, you can only be considered for SSI if both arms are disabled. Do they even consider the fact of overuse? Why would I work and risk arthritis or carpal tunnel in my able arm? That doesnt make sense. Does anyone have SSI with only one disabled arm?

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.
My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!
I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".

Re: Social Security
Yes, Go for it...before I was retirement age, I did get Social Security Disability than it rolled over to SS Retirement when I reached 65. You worked for it. You've earned it. It is worth the fightand all the time it will take. It pays retroactive to the date of your 1st Apploication date rec'vd by SS Office, no matter how long your "fight" may take. IT IS WORTH IT!!

Re: Social Security
You can get Social Security only if there are both upperextremities--for instanc BPI in one arm, arthritis ,carpal tunnel, pronator syndrome etc in the other. I was approved in 3 weeks as my limitations included all of the above.
Having your Dr. document matching the listing in the SSA handbook is the way to go.
You also may combine the BPI with things like migraines, thought process problems, scoliosis etc.
Good luck

Re: Social Security
I will TRY to get you on a path? The most inporant is see your DOCTOR! Your ERBS can be connect to other deseases and mental condition also count. So seeing your doctor and getting reports for SS. You can apply on line for SS and getting it will inform you on whats to be done. There is a part in it about limited working, I think this was the exact way I got SSD, Rember GO into it by saying I will give it my best shot. You do need to do the home work.
