Disability: Episodic Problems
Bathroom breaks, fainting spells, seizures, and other conditions can render a person temporarily incapacitated, and Social Security may approve disability if the problems are severe and frequent enough, but you MUST have accurate, detailed information on your episodes if you want to be approved. In this video, I talk about what you need to document your disability. Don't show up for your disability exam, or disability court hearing unprepared.

Heart disease is a common cause of disability, and tests are important. Social Security may order, and pay for a cardiac stress test and/or echocardiogram, but will not order or pay for a cardiac catheterization.

Thank you for this facts.
You have to have a lawyer to get approved period. Waiting is 3-5 years! My heart goes out to the ones who had cancer or has a bad disability who got denied. Things have changed and more people are trying. Don’t think that just because you have xyz you don’t need a lawyer. Because even with emergency still get a lawyer They will take your case right away and they know how to push through. Do not claim on your own !!!!
I have erectal disfunction ,will I qualify.
You need to have health insurance and some extra money to pay for disability in America unfortunately. I have neither and it's hard to get any benefits to get disability in America. I've been working on loud factories for 7 years
To pay for the exam and the insurance I meant
In
Self-termination. Guaranteed not to be approved. I will prove it to you.
In one of your other videos, you stated if the person pulls out a piece of paper with a list their symptoms, that’s a red flag to you. I would have a list to bring to the exam, due to my CMI, as a memory aid. So is it okay or not okay to bring a list to the exam appointment?
Disability is a joke. The ones who are on it seem to me just fine. The ones who need it can't. I work 5 days a work. The pain is higher then 10. Days I get off work I hurt so bad and even sometimes after work, I can't walk. But it's also not my Gov job to take care of me. Its my job. Get off your butts and work
I had a doctor tell me i was faking in April, as my spine is literally crumbling.
You didn't mention eye issues. I have 2 detached vitreous, severe DED, and MBG. It's literally flipped my life upside down. Extremely difficult to work or just daily living. Constantly seeing ophthalmologist with no real help. I have another physical issue that forces me to work part-time. But the eyes have just topped it all. I want to apply but I also want to work.😢
Great example of the purchasing of the car. They do want to know details that keeps you from working in detail. Ppl don’t understand this. Great video Doctor!
Thanks. I did a day of Social Security Disability exams last month, and had two patients with inflammatory bowel disease and diarrhea, who did not know who often they need bathroom breaks. It made me sad, because their chances of being approved (both of them really did have bad disease) would be greater if they could give reliable numbers. My advice is: measure anything that can be measured - how much you can lift, low long you can stand, how far you can walk, how often you have a seizure, etc.. "Not much", "a lot", or "frequently" aren't very good answers.
There is also a mental residual capacity form. Could you talk about that too? Thanks
thank you sir for all of your help! You are providing an incredible service to the people of need of this knowledge at their worst time in life! God Bless you!
Great Advice!!
No wonder I keep getting denied. Are all disability judges half in the grave like this guy? He can barely even function and this guy is deciding my future? Are there any fucking standards with the government? For fucks sake hire so 30 year old judges Jesus Christ!!!!!!!
Well the department of SS contacted me and denied my wife disability or social security insurance benefits be because we had over 2,000 dollars in the bank? she suffered a second stroke on 12/17/2021 and it damaged her right side where she cannot use her arm and can't walk without using a walker, I have to make the food, feed her, she's not going to be able to drive again, I bathe her and basically help her with everyday necessities, yet she still doesn't qualify for any assistance from the government, how is that possible? but those are the rules I was told on the phone, if you're on the streets with no money then we can help, why does it have to go to that extreme? lose all of our savings just to get help? oh by the way she also has Lupus! can anyone please explain what I can do?
I dont know why its worth it? Im going through this now i will probably get about $900 who can live on that? Im only gonna be $3000 short on my monthly bills.
I’m awaiting my CDR outcome. I have FBSS and 2 spinal implants for over a decade for chronic back pain and nerve root scar tissue/damage and radiculopathy. My whole spine is affected after surgeries and I have degenerative stenosis, DDD, spondylosis and scoliosis. I was told all my spine arthritis is seen normally in combat veterans. I still require oral pain meds and regular epidural injections and nerve ablations. I also have RA and hidradenitis suppurativa which thankfully is listed as an SSA skin disease consisting of chronic abscesses and scar tissue. It’s horribly painful and disfiguring and usually found in the armpits, groin, genitals and buttocks. On my third biologic and still suffering. Even so I’m still worried what SSA will rule. I’m in my 50s and wondering if CDRs will be longer in between and I haven’t worked in years. Thanks I love your channel ❤
I had a stroke while I was in the hospital and got denied by SSI and had to hire a lawyer to get my disability.
And what are your credentials at diagnosing psychiatric disorders? It takes years of training after medical school to become a psychiatrist.
Very helpful list. Can you please explain why mental health conditions are excluded?
I know a hot lady who slept with her Doctor, and she got approved for Disability, now she has to go to his office every 3 months and get on her knees, to keep her benefits coming in.
A bunch of illegals applied for not being able to speak english, and they got it ! Just speak spanish, and pretend you do not understand english, so no jobs will hire you !
Illegals are not eligible for such benefits. Not speaking English is not a disability.
I applied for diarrhea due to disability and I got it, left a puddle behind in the chair at SSA office, they figured there was no need for me to come back again, they approved it ! My girlfriend applied too for her period, and she got it, left a puddle of blood on her chair, she didn't wear on panties ! Plus she was a little drunk and vomited on their desk and window.
I gotta go see a disability doctor next month and with all my heart I want to fail but told my wife I would go. Got hurt in 2006 neck and back and it’s really bad now and I can’t pass a physical for a job. I’m 50 and feel useless and I’m forgetting stuff I should know which I’m told is from my injury where I degloved my forehead and was picking rocks and grass off my skull, the bone part really. Nobody should want to do this.
Astute observation, very post-modern.

God help me, this makes perfect sense but what does one do when they are terrible communicators in person? Have a feeling pulling out a paper and reading directly from it would just make an examiner think you’re being told what to say. I have a lot of mental problems that make in person conversations a mess. It’s so bad I am probably going to be denied for not being able to explain.
I keep the areas where I live safe from any natural or man-made disasters. It's been like this since I was a little kid. I am also only here as an observer. I hope you remember this as a good luck charm. By the way, each Sun is a gateway plus a communication sphere. It is designed for certain civilizations. When the Sun completes its cycle, it turns into an unstable shortcut. I would not use it. You might get lost anywhere, even in a water or firey world. Please stay away. Best of luck with Ai, you'll need it.👋
Thank you for your info God bless.
How about a man whose car was crashed into at a light by an uninsured truck then had to be pried out of his truck, then helicoptered to hospital then loosing bottom part of his leg. ❓❓❓❓❓❓
only in US do they want you to work until you die😒
If in fact it is anvSSA rule that during the examination the MRIs are not considered I would have my MRI on my personal device and offer it to the examiner The manner in which the MRI was explained to me when I had my first one was an example of the best of Occam's razor Background dead black Bone off white Interstitial material Gray Spinal column through cervical discs Interstitial material which is in the manner of rubber gaskets Degenerative disc disease usually involves the desiccation of this material rendering the cervical discs bone on bone If you think about it this is when slipped discs occur AKA throwing your back out At present My L3/L4 - L4/L5 - L5 - S1 Lumbar discs are Bone on Bone.
I suffered for 6 years with severe IBD. I finally had a proctocolectomy and have a permanent ilieostomy. Additionally, ive had several partial blockages, Chronic fatigue, joint pain and fibromyalgia. I was finally approved for ssdi, but i know a cdr is coming soon.
You mentioned you finally got approved. How soon after does SSA do a CDR after approval?
I was told the cdr would happen around 18-22 months. However, I've since been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, major depression and anxiety. We shall see what transpires. I've had several partial blockages and paralytic ilieus and can't keep weight on.
It depends on the condition. For example, for organ transplantation with 1 year disability approval, it is likely to be in 1 -2 years. It can be as long as 10 years, or never, for example, a person who's been deaf from birth (although they generally get one review when they reach adulthood).
What about having your large intestines removed due to colon cancer and diarrhea following each meal?
Dr Foster, I’m sure we were all looking forward to your next video next week about frequent bathroom breaks. In some of our cases, the frequent breaks might be used not necessarily for diarrhea or urinary, but vomiting due to Gerd caused by gastroparesis/digestive system, motility issues.
Good point. Really, anything that temporarily incapacitates you frequently during the work day could result in Social Security considering you disabled, be that bathroom breaks, fainting spells, severe dizzy spells, etc..
Oh rats, I wrote you a note that wasn’t disability related (but was medical) about a very strange (to me) incident that happened not too ago. Now I can’t find it so I put it here; thank you. I hope you don’t mind. I had SEVERE dizziness come on very suddenly. It would come on right away; not a gradual buildup. Then I started to vomit (yuk). I didn’t think my body could produce that much vomit or dizziness. Even after the actual vomiting, my body continued to convulse as if there were more food left, when there wasn’t any. Sorry to be gross. It was horrendous. So all-night vomiting and dizziness and being unable to walk. Very odd, I thought. I had to literally drag myself around on tile floor to the bathroom or whatever. It was absurd (but disastrous). when I did walk a bit, I crashed into things like furniture and stumbled a lot. So…When I finally decided to go to the ER they said it was a sinus infection! Sounded weird but the antibiotics prescribed cleared it right up. I’m always afraid it will come back someday, though. Have you ever seen anything like that? I think you may have been so kind as to reply to the prescribed (not sure) but I have no idea where the reply is (if there was one).
Was wondering how one of my issues would be looked at by SSA for an SSDI claim. Diagnosed with an untreated Transverse myelitis at T10, resulting in fecal incontinence, constant balance issues, and right leg neuropathy. Two biofeedback studies over the decade. Next looking at electrical control systems surgery.
Transverse myelitis is a terrible condition. I've examined two people with it for Social Security, and both were disabled in my opinion (I do NOT make the final determination in Social Security cases). It sounds like you have a good chance of qualifying.
Yes!! Severe fatigue. I get pain in stomach feels like cramps. I don’t know what to eat anymore. I am also swelled up. I’m afraid to eat. Also I go more one day and less the next.
Can you do one in greater detail about IBD and disability? Is it just the frequency of bathroom breaks? Or also the anemia, constant pain, severe fatigue, time required for juggling doctors appointments, infusions of biologicals, infusions of iron, transfusions?
Ooooh I suspect no employer cares about tiredness.
Not sure if you watched any of Attorney Jonathan Ginsberg channel. He has an upload titled something like “ how to prove you would not be a reliable employee” which talks about how Social Security considers things, such as unscheduled breaks, excessive absences, and off task behavior as three issues which can be used as an argument in favor of disability. I watch his channel, and attorney Walter Hnot and have learned a lot of helpful info. But with your specific question, I think Jonathan Ginsberg might be helpful if you haven’t seen it already. Maybe Dr Foster will address this as well and I hope he sees your comment :-)
I should have been clearer - it's the whole picture, but what I have learned from disability attorneys is they often win approval in Social Security cases based on bathroom breaks. When it comes to fatigue, it's important to differentiate tiredness - which is not considered disabling, from fatigue, which Social Security can consider disabling. Tiredness is what you experience when you haven't had enough sleep. Fatigue is what you experience when you've exerted yourself so much you have difficulty continuing. Many conditions, such as marked anemia, serious lung disease, or heart failure can cause fatigue that Social Security considers significant. You'll find fatigue included in several of Social Security's Listing of Impairments.
@@DisabilityExams interesting! Wonder what they think about CFS. People tend to roll their eyes when it’s mentioned in any way as disability. Or mentioned at all!
PTSD, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia paranoia, bipolar, pica, cervical ribs...anymore than three probably have an incompetent therapist...okay this explains why SSA is apparently straying away from schizophrenia
Cervical rib
At this point I see where it becomes a pattern for office of disability determination to continuously bother disabled individuals with trying to get claimant to become stressed out to the point of neglecting any business between disability and claimant. It is a bullying tactic. Who can keep up a fight for poverty without attempting some re-entry into workforce for financial release? A disables individual can. Be careful with racing thoughts when being examined by a disability examiner or the people like this content creator or vendors hired to work on SSA behalf.
Oh my gosh I was going to request this. Thanks!
You're welcome - hope it helped.
It’s my understanding that in my state having a physical disability must be accompanied by a mental disability in order to be approved. My application WAS approved on the first attempt as I did have both as a new diagnosis after an accident. I was actually told I qualified 2 years prior but they only paid me for 12 months in the rears.
i hope this guy gets disapproved when it's his time...putz for sure...it's the peoples money not yours..
He described my mania to a T
My SSA question was how my Disability "Affects" me, they did not ask how it Effects me!
So my mental disabilities prevent me from participating in society at all. I hate people. Don't associate with anyone. There's no one to write a little letter about my conditions.... Hmm. Interesting.
