Help!! Judge Walter’s ordered my union to pay me, and they haven’t. It’s been ten years. It’s my money. I have stage 4 mesothelioma now. Scott K.
Judge Thomas Walters was very kind and compassionate towards me and my disability. I have been trying since 1999, with a lawyer every time and every time i get no good news. I got my approval letter today and nearly cried when i saw that he was on my side.
I con not believe that social security has not tried to start having case workers Fromm ssd come to my home to see what my life as become do to my disability they could come see every six months to check and see for them selfes . I fell in 1999 and broke my back and had 4 titanium cages put in and was not able to work I won ssd in 2003 and was unable to work after 3 yrs I would slowly try and pick jobs and ask favors from my union to help me get back. there is far more to working than just a pay check I would work off and on until 2007 and then went full part time by that I maen that I made so much money when I did work that did not need ssd.BUT I TORE MY BODY APART My KNEE WERE COMPENSATING FOR MY BACK IN HAD MULTI SURGERYS ON MY KNEES ONLY TO BE CRIPPLED NOW BOTH KNEES NEED TO BE REPLCACED.had partial on left knee that did not work applied for ssd in 2012 turned down hired Ron miles he did nothing no medical records for judge who I seen on sept 15 2014 it is now it is dec 2 2014 just got email from Ron was denied I have to take 100 mil morphine three time aday and lyrica 150 mil once I also take depressing meds who will hire me can’t even walk from one side of my house to the other yet WAS DENIED AFTER THREE YEARS OF FIGHTING, so sad DO NOT HIRE RON MILES
Awesome Judge. He is fair, kind, compassionate and really understands people. He allowed me to elaborate on the struggles I am going through. We need more people like him in judicial positions.
I had this judge in 1996 i received a favorable decision from him. He was very pleasent and polite. He understood that the pain i had was present 5 days out of 7. We laughed and talked about how being able to receive ssdi helps to releive the stress on a family. Wish he was back on the bench in detroit. I went back to work in 2003 after my husband abandon me and our children. I worked until 2010 and was unable to take the pain. so now i have been fighting since 2011 and have been denied over and over again.
I appeared before this judge September 30,2013 he was polite and attentive wasn’t rude at all. He seems like a very fair judge and even though it’s been over 60 days I’m still waiting on my decision. I hope and pray that he decided in my favor I haven’t worked in 4 years due to my severe condition.
