bambam bigalo asked:
I have already received SSD / SSDI / SSI for almost 3 years and I wanted to know if re-qualify for it because my mental illness gets worse when they are in the effort for example, after the operation of 2-4 hours a day that I came home and I have taken my medication, but I couldn 't go to sleep until after 3am and came home very irritated and angry / hostile, it could never sleep until 3am-4am and to I think that is why the effort reduces the effect of my medication. I was qualified for SSD / SSDI / SSI 3 years ago because I was angry / hostile, homicidal, suicidal and couldn 't sleep for more than 2 hours a day and had some paranoia and still do but severe as before and another reason why the army reserve military said they had downloaded (unfit to be in the military more) due to my mental illness so I wasn 't able to deploy in Kuwait. I tried to go back to the military and was denied because they said that I take drugs. It seems that the drugs work well only when I have no effort. TYPES, this is Bologna, social security already told me that my case will review every 3 years to make sure that I 'm the still made it invalid. What is all this about if they know that my mental illness is permanent. I have already tried to work part-time 3-4 hours a day and I couldn 't continue the more because I came out very angry and a po'ostile and extremely angry for no reason. This is the main symptoms of my schizoaffective bipolar type I

Unless you are not receiving SSI/SSDI anymore , you may not qualify without the hassle, but if you still get it you do not have to do anymore paperwork, they don’t check you once you get it They are a lifetime paycheck (to-say) and if you can’t work due to stress there are other sources you can go to to help with your income, but no you don’t have to re-qualify if you already get it

When you go to the appointment, tell them everything you have said here. The main thing is that they need to understand why you cannot work to support yourself. Explain ALL your symptoms and how they interfere with your daily life and your ability to work. Be honest…VERY honest, even if you feel embarrassed or frustrating explaining it all. Good luck.

Don’t sweat it, if your symptoms are still bad, you aren’t going to lose your social security unless you don’t get your paperwork in (OK, there can be bueurocratic errors, but that doesn’t happen very often). I’m bipolar, been getting disability since 1995, and been reviewed 2 or 3 times, no problem. Stress makes me worse too, a LOT worse, and it’s so weird!! I can be going along just fine, then something frustrates me a little bit, and wham!! I’m totally losing it and ready to kill myself. They know at social security that people with mental illnesses may do well in a sheltered/low-stress enviroment, and then relapse big time if they are stressed again. You should be fine, just do the paperwork honestly and get your doc to send in his/her paperwork, plus get a friend/family member to fill in their questionairre.
also get this book if you are still worrying - nolo press guide to social security disability. You can get it online, but your local library may have it. This book is really good. It tells you that social security has to show that you got significantly better in order to cancel benefits. They aren’t going to be jerks like a private insurer would be. And make no mistake - your diagnosis is a serious one, probably the majority of people with that diagnosis are unable to work (not a lot of studies on that, but looks like 1/3 of bipolars hold down a job)
Also, I have, in practice, only been reviewed every 5 years so far, even though they said every 3. I think the reasoning there is that maybe a breakthrough treatment will come through and people with our condition will get better. Not likely, but that’s the thinking. And some people with serious psychiatric disorders do recover to a large extent.
Good luck!!
