Bleh
got another rejection for disability
this time it came with a 20-odd page document explaining in great detail where this decision came from, and while I didn’t have the spoons to read the whole thing, the parts I did read boiled down to:
- We didn’t see anything in your medical record that says the things you said about your inability to work
- Because your medical records don’t say that we believe that you can do work that requires standing 6 hours a day
- You are totally qualified to do menial, repetitive tasks all day long and so surely you could do that for a career
And then there was a bizarre tangent about my HRT that I had no idea how it connected to my claim but felt vaguely transphobic, and also an insistence that I’d “rejected treatment” for my conditions, which is complete bullcrap; I tried so many different treatments but their side effects were much worse. I wanted them to work, it’s not like I chose for them to make my blood pressure skyrocket to 180/120 or give me days-long insomnia or give me fucking seizures.
As always the thing that upsets me the most is people asking me questions then either not believing or completely misinterpreting my response.
Oh and on top of that they used the fact that I’m able to manage my finances well enough to get by as proof that I’m not really disabled, either.
I’m so tired of this nonsense.
