I'm familar with the process. My late wife was disabled and recieving full benefits and also had the review.
What I was speaking of was the risk involved to your benefits IF they decide to test you for drugs and you are positive. The government doesn't do things logically. Even though you have permission to use MJ, sometimes the government will shut off benefits until much time has gone by in determining your right to do so. An attorney may help eliminate any discontinuence of benefits to you. Otherwise, it's a crap shoot.
I sure wish you good luck, and I sincerely hope your life is as good as possible. Please let us all know how it turns out for you.
I am very sorry you lost your wife.(Though "lost" is such a stupid way to put it.)
Good! That you are familiar with the process. I wasn't sure from your previous post if I had made it clear that it was a review or if I left you thinking I was going through the application process.
I do know that our government is...ummmm...beyond illogical. That's kinda what's scaring me. I'm afraid I may head out one morning for a doctor's appointment...get drug tested...and find myself in jail!
My state has "legalized" medical marijuana. But, as you know, Soc.Sec if a federal program and the feds do not care if citizens suffer or even die...as long as they don't use anything that cuts into the profits of big pharmaceutical companys... Please don't get me started !
Thanks for the wish of good luck and all that. I will let you all know how it goes. I think I might hang out here a bit, get to know people. Maybe get over feeling like I'm doing something I shouldn't. I've been reading a little here and people seem to have a healthy attitude about their right to get high, even if it's just because it feels good... and me feeling guilty and embarrassed about smoking it medically when I've tried everything else to no avail. How silly is that?
Ohhh...I like the "high" too.
