My understanding ( after calling in loads of help from relatives/friends who are not suffering from pain & meds that make you ADD like me) is <br>1) I have to prove a seperate case dealing with pre DLI tests/Dr`s notes saying I was unsuitable/unable to do any substantial work - not only being just unable to go back to my job at the time). <br> 2). I`ll also have to prove I am NOW incapable of any gainful employment and answer all the questions in the reconsideration form addressing changes since I applied for for SSDI.<br>I have looked for local legal representation to no avail basically due to the deadline of 4/22/10 to stop this appeal before it gets to being passed on to the next level. My DR is a Board Certified Independant Med Examiner who does SSDI exams. Thankfully he believes in my disability and has written a strong letter of support and completed a Residual Functional Capacity form... All looks good EXECPT for he & I both don`t understand this DLI/ Res Judicata stuff.<br> I know you don`t deal with out of staters (I`m from Ohio) but,Mr. Stasiuk,if you could offer me any advice prior to my deadline It would actually save me literally from economic and emotional devastation.

My work history was great before the accident, but work was very rare after, back then I filed for appeal, lawyer was a no-show and I lost. I spent many years homeless, and on SDI or welfare time to time. It doesn't seem fair that because I physically could not work much, it is held against me. I didnt enjoy being unable to provide, or homeless, or the pain. Now last Dec. the ALJ gave me a "fully favorable" decision but since I was not collecting all those years, all I qualify for is SSI and not even that if I reside with my ex-wife, because they count her salary. Can this be contested as to how using this rule cant possibly apply the same to every person. I was injured at work on 2-27-92, I won my workers comp and lifetime medical was part of the settlement.

However, if someone just wants to know their date last insured, it is often easier to call the local Social Security office or the Social Security toll free number (1-800-772-1213) and ask, “when is my date last insured for Title 2 benefits?”
