Continue getting denied for SSI with stage 4 lupus nephritis along with other health complications I (FTM26) in Florida.
I (FTM26) live in Florida. I have been denied SSI after filing by myself once, then three times with a lawyer and went before a judge. I have SLE stage 4, arthritis, polycystic, and have been in the ER multiple times for sepsis. I am unable to work and doing anything pretty much requires me to get bed rest afterwards. It seems like people in other states get approved immediately for lupus as it's supposed to be a fast pass. It has been nearly 4 years now. I have no insurance and I have also lost my food stamps because they want me to work 20 hours a week, which I cannot. I even asked the judge if I could at least get Medicaid/medicare and was denied that. What can I do? I've been waiting and it feels stagnant at this point. I get my medication through a Christian charity clinic.
