Lee Davis Eventually Approved For Social Security Benefits
You could apply for Social Security disability benefits. But the 11 News I-Team has discovered you could be turned down even if your doctors say you are disabled.
Lee Davis told WBAL-TV's Deborah Weiner that since an accident at work in 2003, he has lived with debilitating pain, neurological and spinal cord problems and temporary paralysis.
"I'm not the same person I was," said the 46-year-old former truck driver.
The main provider for his Harford County family for nearly half his life, Davis has been unable to work for four years, though he tried to return. He and his wife, Vicki, an oil company bookkeeper, find themselves on the verge of losing their home, Weiner reported.

Disability has gotten to the point where you have to get a lawyer involved. Seems the 1st. application is "rubber stamped" REJECTED. Then you have a reconsideration & the appeals process. Yes it certainly is a process & the SSA is backloged by at least 2 years (prob. longer). I wish this family alot of luck & patience.
