04/06/2016 - "For those squaking about my disability review in November"

[Ti-99/4A]

Here's a page that describes the tardbux review process: http://www.disabilitysecrets.com/re.../ssdi/keeping-benefits-continuing-reviews.htm

Spoiler: Triggered CDR

Triggered CDRs
In addition to the regularly scheduled CDRs, the SSA may conduct a continuing disability review in any of the following situations:

• You return to work.
• You inform the SSA that your condition has improved.
• Your medical evidence indicates that your condition has improved.
• A third-party informs the SSA that you are not following your treatment protocol, or
• A new treatment for your disabling condition has recently been introduced.

Spoiler: Process

Continuing Disability Review Process
If your Social Security claim is up for review, the SSA will notify you by mail. The SSA will send you either a copy of the short form, Disability Update Report (SSA-455-OCR-SM), or the long form, Continuing Disability Review Report (SSA-454-BK), announcing a CDR. The short form is generally for those whose condition is not expected to improve, and is only two pages.

If your condition could improve, or if your answers on the short form send a red flag to the SSA, the agency will send you the long form, which is similar to the initial disability application and is ten pages long. On it the SSA asks whether you have seen a doctor or been hospitalized in the past year, whether you have had any recent tests in the past year, such as EKGs, blood tests, or x-rays, and whether you have been working, among other things.

You are encouraged to submit any updated medical evidence to the SSA, although the SSA may also obtain this on their own. In general, the SSA will be reviewing the period of 12 months prior to the notice, although the agency can look at evidence from any time after you were initially granted benefits.

Spoiler: Standards

Medical Improvement Review Standard
Assuming you haven’t returned to work, Social Security will first determine if there has been medical improvement in your condition. If the answer is no, the continuing disability review process is complete, and your benefits will not be affected.

If the answer is yes, the SSA will then decide if the medical improvement affects your ability (or inability) to work. If it does not, you will continue to receive benefits. But if the SSA comes to the conclusion that your condition has improved to the point where you can return to work, you will be notified that your benefit payments will stop and will be given the chance to appeal the decision. How the SSA makes this decision is governed by guidelines that can be confusing; for more information on your chances that the SSA will find you have medically improved, see our article on the medical improvement review standard.

If the SSA feels that the evidence is insufficient to make a decision, or if there are inconsistencies between what you report and your medical evidence, you could be sent for a “consultative examination,” which is an examination by a doctor that is paid for by the SSA.

 

[BOLDYSPICY!]

I don't think only military combatants can have PTSD, but I also don't know what events Cisabel claims were PTSD triggers. I will never believe the Angelo allegations.

This is true. People who have experienced an especially traumatic event (like, say, a rape) or suffered severe abuse can develop PTSD. :powerlevel:

I don't believe Phil was abused for a second.

 

[DragoonSierra]

A third-party informs the SSA that you are not following your treatment protocol

Oh boy!

 

[Psycho]

Ok, so, right before he went off on this rant, he posted the post that started the thread where he was talking about moving back to Portland, remember? One of the things he talked about there was some kind of housing program. I know he's always hated housing programs, but what if he's willing to get into one just to try to keep his tard-bux? I mean, I could easily see him trying to tell the reviewer that he's making progress because he isn't homeless anymore.

I know, I know, it won't work, especially when he has literally covered himself in evidence that he's previously spent his money in the worst way possible, but that doesn't mean Phil won't try it.

 

[AnOminous]

I know, I know, it won't work, especially when he has literally covered himself in evidence that he's previously spent his money in the worst way possible, but that doesn't mean Phil won't try it.

How he spends his money is irrelevant to whether he's legally disabled. It might be relevant to whether he needs a payee, but just making stupid choices about it is not relevant. Once he gets it, it's his to do with as he pleases.

If he doesn't get appropriate treatment or follow treatment, that's relevant. Not because he's spending the money on something else, but because he isn't doing what he's required to do.

If he develops a drug habit, that might be relevant. Not because he's spending money on something illegal, but because you aren't entitled to disability if a contributing factor to it is your own drug or alcohol abuse. So far as I know, this is one of the few retarded things Phil does not do.

They aren't really going to pry into how he spends his tard bucks, just whether or not he's a tard.

 

[The Dude]

Phil, your EVERYTHING is worse since 2014.
And the review board can see IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT.

"I will win another 5 years of it". Yup, being a parasite is some kind of personal victory

It's a really sad world we live in that some people are actually proud of being a worthless leach on society.

 

[Karen Riley]

Out of all of Phil's content yesterday, 'threats to live and limb,' has cracked me up the most. He reminded me so much of Chris in that comment in general though, talking about startled responses to people and then blaming it on his online detractors.

I don't know how the law works but I'd imagine moving in between Portland and California isn't wise until his disability review happens. November should be pretty interesting regardless, if he wins his review he'll be massively smug, and if he doesn't life is going to get even more miserable and pathetic for Phil than it already is.

Yeah, the "live and limb" fuck up was hilarious. How do you fuck up "life and limb"? Kind of like people who say "for all intensive purposes" instead of "intents and purposes". I will give Phil this; at least he admits he was a fuck up in school instead of telling everyone he was on the honor roll. But it is amazing how much alike CWC and Philthy are. It's like Phil is CWC's stupider, evil twin.

 

[BlueArmedDevil]

It's funny how he chimps out over a website that he isn't required to go to, interact with or even read.

Good luck scrambling to make it look like you are getting treatment for your review in Nov. Remember to show them all your magic letters....

With how much he rambles on about magic letters, I wonder if he'll try to doctor some up for his review. Since he's deemed able to improve, actually completing therapies would give him letters towards his tugboat and show some form of slow progress lipservice to eke by.

Doesnt he have to use his money to get better however that much that may cost? Also considering that his PTSD is of his own making shouldnt the fact that its gotten worse also be of his own making? Wouldnt his living situation factor into his willingness to get help since his PTSD is of his own making? What is the minimum effort that he has to put into getting better?

ADF doesn't have real PTSD.

Doesn't that mean his choices do affect his disability though? He hasn't seen a doctor, hasn't attended therapy, doesn't take his medicine, hasn't followed a treatment program, and hasn't attained housing. The review board would have to see that as not doing anything to change his condition, even if he magically gets some kind of housing a month before the review?

 

[bearycool]

Phil is just an example of things that are worse than death.

 

[Pickle Inspector]

Yeah sure Phil, you've got anxiety that's why you've been travelling around the country joining clubs/whatever that anarchist book shop was, constantly posting on social media sites for attention and living in strangers houses.

We all know he's getting autism bux because of his autism, he's even so self concious he calls it his "Battleship" since he has to one up Chris's tugboat (Even though he doesn't get as much as Chris).

 

[AnOminous]

Doesnt he have to use his money to get better however that much that may cost?

No, but he has to follow a treatment plan of some sort. If you're collecting disability you generally qualify for free medical care, too, which Phil usually uses to ignore normal medical treatment and instead go to the emergency room whenever he has the sniffles.

Doesn't that mean his choices do affect his disability though?

Yes, but not directly. They're not going to look at his specific wastes of money and judge those when adjudicating whether he is, in fact, disabled. I suppose arguably the way he spends his money could show he's retarded and incapable of managing his own finances.

If gender dysphoria really is a disabling condition, doing nothing to treat it and instead just lying about cutting his balls off and other stupid games like that isn't getting treatment. But I doubt the SSA would ever put itself in a situation where they'd turn off someone's disability unless they castrated themselves for real.

It's more likely his other bullshit conditions that he doesn't act like someone with would be the basis of turning off the spigot.

 

[Flowers For Sonichu]

Eat shit and die Phil.

Really? 34 people liked this sorry ass unoriginal low effort shitpost? I'm going to go through this thread and clean it up @Hellblazer style. If you received a notification that your post was deleted, you really should reevaluate your life. This whole entire subforum is becoming worse than discussion and you all really need to put more effort into making quality posts that contribute to discussion rather than Alog this piece of shit in order to hoard likes &/or prove that you're a better person than a racist delusional homeless STD riddled tranny.

EDIT: 20+ posts deleted and there is stilll a lot of low effort like hoarding shitposts. I'm going drinking folks

PS: rate this dumb and autistic if you like, but this subforum is riddled with trollshielding trannies who want to prove they're better than ADF. This is really embarrassing for you and one of the main reasons why posters on other sites like /cow/ and EDF think we're shit.

But his disability is for PTSD. WHats the minimum he has to establish in order to keep getting disability?

His disability is autism, not PTSD. He added a laundry list of things he claimed to have, not things he legitimately does have.

He posted a partial copy of the decision. Note there's some missing material, probably autism or being retarded or something he found embarrassing.

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

After careful consideration of the entire record, I make the following findings:

1. The claimant’s date last insured is December 31, 2014.
2. There is no evidence of substantial gainful activity since August 31, 2010, the alleged onset date (20 CFR 404.1520(b), 404.1571 et seq., 416.920(b) and 416.971 et seq.).

There is no evidence that the claimant has engaged in substantial gainful activity at any time relevant to her applications for benefits (see, Exhibits 3D-8D, 10D-12D, 2E & 3E and hearing testimony). Therefore, a finding of disability is not precluded on the basis of work activity.

3. The claimant has the following severe impairments: a depressive disorder, an anxiety disorder, and a personality disorder (20 CFR 404.1520(c) and 416.920(c)).

The claimant has alleged disability on the basis of autism/Asperger’s syndrome, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a generalized anxiety disorder, a dissociative disorder, a personality disorder and fibromyalgia. She reported that her symptoms include suicidal ideation, difficulty interacting with others, difficulty sleeping, memory problems and impaired concentration. As a result of her symptoms, the claimant has become homeless and has difficulty performing tasks, including personal care. The claimant also testified that she is transgender woman who is transitioning from a man (see, Exhibits ?E, 6E, 10E, 11E & 15E and hearing testimony).

As will be discussed below, the findings reported in the claimant’s medical records indicate that the above impairments have more than a minimal effect on her ability to work. I therefore find that the claimant’s impairments are “severe.”

4. The severity of the claimant’s impairments meets the criteria of Section 12.06 of the Listing of Impairments found at 20 CFR Part 404, Subpart P, Appendix 1 (20 CFR 404.1520(d), 404.1525, 416.920(d) and 416.925).

According to the claimant’s medical records, she legally changed her name after determining that she wanted to transition from male to female and was placed on a hormone regimen by her physician in May 2020 (Exhibit 1F/36). Thereafter, during a subsequent visit to the Mazzoni Center in June 2011, the claimant requested a referral for psychiatric treatment as she was

[. . .]

August 2013, she presented to the emergency room shortly thereafter, with suicidal ideation. Her emergency room physician suggested that the claimant’s current symptoms may have been precipitated by the new medication and her medication was stopped (Exhibit 13F/4).

At the hearing, the medical expert testified that he had reviewed the record, including the evidence of persistent depression, uncontrolled with psychotropic medication, and of a personality disorder, with difficulty functioning on a day-to-day basis. Dr. Tanenhaus specifically noted that the record describes a sleep disturbance, psychomotor agitation, feelings of worthlessness and difficulty concentrating, as contemplated under the “paragraph A” criteria of Section 12.04. He further testified that the record describes evidence of persistent disturbances of mood or affect and intense and unstable interpersonal relationships, as contemplated under the “paragraph B” criteria of both Section 12.04 and Section 12.08. In addition, in Dr. Tanenhaus’ opinion, the “paragraph B” criteria of both Section 12.04 and Section 12.08 are satisfied because the record indicates that the claimant’s impairments cause a mild restriction in activities of daily living, marked difficulties in maintaining social functioning, marked difficulties in maintaining concentration, persistence or pace, and no episodes of decompensation of extended duration.

I accept his testimony and accord it great weight, as it was based upon a review of the record in its entirety and is supported by the underlying medical evidence of record. Taking into consideration the opinion of the medical expert and the record as a whole, I find that the claimant suffers from a Listing level affective disorder that meets the criteria of Section 12.04 and from a Listing level personality disorder that meets the criteria of Section 12.08.

In making these findings, I have also considered other opinion evidence in accordance with the requirements of 20 CFR 404.1527 and 416.927 and SSRs 96-2p, 96-6p and 06-3p. I give some

[. . .]

I have also considered all symptoms and the [. . .] consistent with the objective medical evidence and other evidence, based on the [. . .] 20 CFR 404.1529 and 416.929 and SSRs 96-4p and 96-7p. After considering the evidence of record, I find that the claimant’s medically determinable impairments could reasonably be expected to produce the alleged symptoms, and that the claimant’s statements concerning the intensity, persistence and limiting effects of these symptoms are generally credible.

5. The claimant has been under a disability as defined in the Social Security Act since August 31, 2010, the alleged onset date of disability (20 CFR 404.1520(d) and 416.920(d)).

DECISION

Based on the application for a period of disability and disability insurance benefits filed on June 27, 2011, the claimant has been disabled under sections 216(i) and 223(d) of the Social Security Act since August 31, 2010.

Based on the application for supplemental security income protectively filed on February 16, 2013, the claimant has been disabled under section 1614(a)(3)(A) of the Social Security Act since August 31, 2010.

The component of the Social Security Administration responsible for authorizing supplemental security income will advise the claimant regarding the nondisability requirements for these payments and, if the claimant is eligible, the amount and the months for which payment will be made.

Medical improvement is expected with appropriate treatment. Consequently, a continuing disability review is recommended in 24 months.
