So I recieved the results from my evaluation but I am concerned.

I went to recieve an evaluation to determine if I was still disabled enough to recieve benifits (though my conditions are perminent) and I was told I wasnt aproved to recieve benifits BESIDES the ones I already recieve. Now its good ill continue to get what Im already getting but I was told that the reason for it was to update records (even tho my condition doesnt change lol) but when I saw the reason the dissapproved for me recieving more benifits was because Im still able to work, which is fine. But they claimed I said on 04/2024 that I wasnt able to work, which doesnt make since because 1. I never made that claim, and 2. I LITERALLY MADE 11 MONTHS AT THE JOB I WAS WORKING DURING THAT TIME ! Im worried theyll use this as an excuse in the future to cut my beneifits but mabye im just crazy. I feel like they are trying to find any excuse to cut people going into 2027

Anyone with Hip Dysplasia?

I went to the doctor 2 years ago for an xray for my leg length issues (left seeming longer than right)

and the doctor who looked at my results (xray) said he didnt see much significance in the length. He said an shoe insert should fix it. Well a should insert helps and I have been going to the gym to fix any muscle imbalances that could be the cause, but something still feels off. I get this snaping sinsation in my right hip. I looked into my medical records and discovered that in the notes he mentioned "Minimal right dysplasia" im thinking I may need a some procedure but I am not sure.

How do you get remaining solder out of the holes?

I tried using a solder sucker and solder wick but cant get the remaining solder through the hole. Desoldering is especially hard on tiny points.

For those with Cerebral Palsy what foot wear would you recomend?

I have spastic diplegia and need to get some new shoes. I still have shoe from HS and that was like a decade ago. Something comftorable but arent to flexible. Shoes that I can wear anywhere from the gym, to outdoors or to social activities. I am struggling with leg length discrepancy or hip dysplasia (not sure). I may have to get my shoes fixed balance my legs but I hope not.

Why do people who have little to no experience in the medical field get to determine if we are disabled enough?

I just got my evaluation done today (the same guy I had like 10 years ago surprisingly). He said he's just there to give an evaluation not make a decision (fair). But he said he specializes in psychology and behavioral science not much with physical stuff. So while that concerned me a bit, I was more concerned by the fact some random person at a "State agency" is gonna make a decision even if they have little to no medical experience. Why is such a thing even aloud?

Do I have to play any DLC in DAO or DA2 to understand the story?

Inquisition was my first game but I decided to run through the first two to understand the story better. Is playing any DLC required or can I skip it? Games are good but would prefer to move on if possible.

Edit: Thanks for the quick responses. Looks like I'll be back tracking before replaying inquisition.

Social Security can be so annoying

I know many are just trying to do thier job, and I know its not simple. I am pissed because I have to do a medical examination to determine if I am eligable to receive benifits, specifically xrays, and mabye other physical stuff. All because an employee lacked "information" . My thing is, I have cerebral palsy, my condition doesnt get worse or better. I got denied and had to appeal almost a decade ago because I wasnt disabled enough. Took xrays and went in front of a judge a few years ago (2022), and was deemed disabled enough to recieve benifits. Do they not keep up with info? I get needing to update info on things that could change but not this. My examination results is going to a "state agency" to determine if I am eligable which 9/10, some guy whos probably never been in a disabled persons shoes gonna be like "Nah". I swear this feels like an attempt to cut people and not actaully get needed information.

Love getting told that I am not trying hard enough.

To be fair from the start, I havent applied to any jobs for about a week to focus on manageging my skillset given how there arent many options avalible to me on the area. I am also limited because of my disablities. I managed to get an interview 2 weeks ago but still waiting for a second interview. But I got on the phone with my new Workforce counseler (old one left like 8 months ago) and was immedatiley accused of not " Avocating for myself" because I took a week to focus on other things in hopes of improving my chances of finding work. Like, I hate how if im not sending 100 - 200 applications a day 24/7, that im not trying hard enough. Do people not understand that there are alot of variables that come into play when trying to find work? Do they not understand that I cant just apply for ANYTHING that pops up? That I have limitations? The area I am in may not have many options? Or that even some of them most entry level jobs require a 2 - 4 year degree? Most of my time job hunting is scrolling through fake jobs, outdated jobs, jobs that dont pay enough, and jobs that I cant do because I dont meet the requirements OR my disability.

What pissed me off even more was that the lady had the nerve to say " I was unemployed to at one point" "You just need to pick yourself up" like bruh, what do you think im trying to do? You think just being unemployeed is the only issue?

So for starters, I will be calling to ask questions of course, so dont worry. My Working memory sucks, so im struggling to understand some stuff.

  1. I was under the impression an ABLE account so save money, not to invest it. I know next to nothing about investing in stocks and things like that. Do I have invest my money?

  2. Of course im sure most of us cant just go out and buy yachts with our income but what exactly CANT we spend the money on? I pay for the things like netflix and xbox but thats about it. I may use the money to help by equipment to develp skills for employemnt as well.

  3. Can we withdraw this money whenever?

If you can ELI5 id appreciate it.
