  13. The people that make the decision on your health do Not give a darn about you.I have been denied two times for disability .I have illnesses that automatically qualify for disability but yet I have been denied twice and have waited a year on both decisions .

    I have the following conditions:
    COPD. ASTHMA GLAUCOMA LOWER CHRONIC BACK PAIN JOINT DEGENERATION ARTHRITIS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

    I am on medication that helps me but yet I’m so high at times I don’t know whether I’m going or coming . I have been homeless waiting for a decision to be made on my case to get a return of ineligible based on rules that someone feels are not consistent with the disability a person having the issues .

    People are dying waiting on a system that is corrupt and bias based on the results of individuals that have no idea what others may be going through in their physical and emotional life . Even with the illnesses that automatically qualify an individual for disability the person making the decision finds a way to deny that individual based upon what they feel

    The system and the individuals that sit on their butts making the decisions on other people lives have no idea what many individuals are going through on a daily basis. I have been forced to return to work in order not to be homeless again and not be out panhandling to make it .God help us all if the system doesn’t get some HONEST and GOD fearing people in those positions to help us the ones that truly need the help.I get accommodations on my job but what will happen the day I get hurt being high on medication to control my pain ?

    What will happen when I have a major attack and can’t breathe?

    So much on my heart concerning my health issues but I guess I’ll live until I die .Our system is truly messed up and the ones that have the authority to fix it don’t give a Darn because it’s not them or someone they love .
