The Beginning

I have just started applying for social security, and the reason I have waited is because it sounds like such a long drawn out process - also its the feeling of loss of Pride that is involved, admitting that you will not be able to hold a job is not the easiest thing to do and something I never wanted to do.

I completed the first part of the application online and then called the local social security office to schedule my appointment. They scheduled me for the first of Febuary to sign releases for my medical records and to go over my information.

I am going to attempt to get my case manager from the Mental Health system to help me obtain copies of my records because I have read that it makes it easier if you hand them the information.
