I was told I was bipolar at 25 since then it has been a roller derby. Applied for Social Security disability 3 years ago and have retained an attorney. I'm very much in need of a job both for the money and something to do. The job market is very tight and I'm afraid to work and give up on the Social Security Disability. I was recently granted Medicaid as a result of the bipolar stuff, also I have COPD. I've called the attorney's office and asked for them to file a request for a hearing and they say that's where its at and to be patient we know it frustrating.<a href="#comment-8256">Tonya Ridener</a>: @I’m 56 educated and not held a job for 6 years.

I am 23 years old and I filed for my disability on April 19th, 2009. I should've gotten it when I was much younger because I was diagnosed bi-polar when I was 13 years old and have struggled my entire life. I lived with my father and he forced me to get a job at 16. I have had 27 jobs in the past 6 years and it's very hard for me. I just recieved my first denial letter a few days ago and I've heard it may take longer than 9 months. My last job I was there for 8 months but only because my father threatened to kick me out and I had nowhere else to go. I stayed out of fear and it upset my boss that I was always walking away due to mood swings and crying. This is not a game and I didn't do it because I didn't want to work. I did it because I seriously need help and I can't hold a job without getting extremely stressed and overwhelmed. All other jobs have lasted 2 days to 3 months. But it's so difficult for me. I am feeling so bad that my mother is struggling to support me off of her disablity check every month and I was wondering if anyone had any advice? Hello.

The judge stated that he would consider the 8 month job a "trial work period" as they can last up to 9 months. so if this is the case, does that mean i will not get any back pay for any part of that 8 month period, or being it was an unsuccessful trial work period, that i will get back pay from that time frame? I made 21k in 2008 between the job in question and then another for just a couple of weeks. he had asked my lawyer if the payment processing center would be confused in regards to what he had decided. i assume then from those comments everything is going to go in my favor. :) please let me know what you think. jonathan,

The judge reasoned that an "unsuccessful work attempt" comprised the first 3 months of this period and that the remaining 5 months of the work attempt could be characterized as a "trial work period." The judge approved this case.
