I really was not give that choice.
They treated my injury as if I was newly injured.

Maybe if they see the extent of your injury they will understand.
Please don't forget to bring the new SSA policy information on brachial plexus injury.

Good Luck

Do the same qualifications work for people with TBPI?
SSDI is still determining if Dustin is disabled. They are trying to go off from his head injury. But, as I pointed out many times his completely limp left arm and difficulty in walking should be considered. Also the page I printed said "children" not sure if he qualifies as he is 19. "May" was used often also so I think it is not a guarantee. Sorry, know I am under the OBPI but you sound like you have some experience with this. Also does anyone know if there is a time frame in which they have to make the decision, we are at 11 mo. post accident and 10 mo. post applying.
Thanks,
Sue

Christina,
I agree strongly with Kath. It would help alot for them to SEE you and see the extent of your injuries along with the SSDI Qualifactions papers in front of them too. I wish you the best for your Appeal process. Let us know when your appointment is and I'll "Storm Heaven" for you(that a verb...LOL)on that day.
HUGS)))),
