The description of this book given by Amazon is misleading. If I'm willing to pay asking price for what is essentially a 50 page book, that's a legitimate choice. It actually reminds me of a large print edition for the visually challenged.
Chapter 1 begins on page 17 and the last chapter ends on page 93. About 20 pages of the book are nothing more than the same form (of very dubious value) printed over and over again. The book is described as being 148 pages, but don't expect nearly that volume of material.
If this book were printed in a standard font, I suspect there would be maybe 50 pages of usable material here at best. That means there are about 76 actual pages here. The catch is, those 76 pages are printed in huge typeface.
Like a college freshman writing his first research paper, the publisher has done everything in its power to make the book appear more substantial than it is. However, I do think the book should be accurately described to online buyers, which it is not.
like the author saids he work befor he wrote this book,but it is not as simple was of no help for the realtime issues.
How to Get SSI & Social Security Disability: An Insider's Step by Step Guide by Mike Davis, was invaluable in my request for reconsideration for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). After the denial of my initial application, I wrote a successful request for reconsideration myself based on the guidance and information provided in this book.Mr. Davis lays out precisely what information the Social Security Administration (SSA) disability evaluation analyst needs to approve a claim or appeal and how to amass that information so the applicant may provide it to them. I recommend you purchase and study this book prior to your initial application so you may understand the SSDI application and review processes and provide the SSA with the information they need to approve your claim, thereby avoiding the need to appeal.
This was a great little book, very helpful. Denial must be a way to clean off their desk. His book was very helpful.My only complaint on the book was that Mr Davis relied on abreviations too much. These 2 are Must Have books for an applicant. The vocabulary of the Social Security is confusing enough without having to continue to flip back to the cheat sheet to look these things up. Thanks Mike DAvis.I wish I had read it 7 years ago when I first applied for Disability. So was the Nolo's Guide to Social Security Disability. That isn't Mr Davis's fault though.
Perhaps it wouldn't have taken me all of this time, and a Federal Civil suit, to get approval. But I disagree with MR Davis: I think the SSA routinely denies applicants if they have too many claims on their desk. FO, ALJ, ADL, & those sort of industry specific abbreviations should have been replaced with the full titles (Field Office, Administrative Law Judge, and Activities of Daily Living, etc). But if you decide to stick to the cheat sheet scenario on your next edition, please put the cheat sheet on the last page so that it is easier to find.
This was a good read book. I would have to write a review later to let people know if anything in it helped.
