United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

Hello! First,let me say that whomever gets elected (personally, Democratic), needs to introduce health care for ALL! Be active and vote!
I was injured at birth and remember as a child being in pain. My mother, always feeling guilty, was grateful I could finally have partial use and strength in the arm, so back in those days (I'm 61) not too much could be done. In fact, the delivery doctor didn't even tell the folks there was a problem! My Grandmother, a nurse, noticed I wasn't using my arm!
Being just turned down the first time for SSD, I am pursuing finding an attorney in Portland that might be familiar with Brachial Plexus.
Thanks for being here for information and others with the same problem!

WELCOME "Locksmith1" to our UBPN Family. That ios what it is: a Family of instinct suport, Caring and Information of the best kind. I am glad to hear you are going the "Legal Route" to fight for your SD. It is sooo important not only for you, us adults but for the future for our OBPI children.

I will jump down from my soap Box too for now as I must go VOTE!! Lines are long all ready here in WA State...

PLEASE come here often. I learn from everyone!

I just voted and think everyone should vote every year.

I guess I just cancelled your vote... Now matter who wins life will go on and we will still be the good old USA...! God Bless America where we are free to vote as we please and still be friends.

Here is the SSD link for SSD and bpi.
It is fairly new and should help with a code for Disability.

Also you must have tests and doctors who write the reasons for retirement. I had to write a huge essay explaining all the things I could do and all the things I could no longer do.
I did not have to higher a lawyer to obtain my SSD. I was you age when I applied. We did not have this code in the Blue Book when I applied for SSD. Please share this with your lawyer.
