I filed for Social Security in November and haven't heard anything from them since. Thinking I would be denied I gave up and found a job. I just started yesterday, but found out today that I was approved for SSA. If I quit the job I started will this effect the SSA decision? Or since I found a...

Thanks for the information. After posting this question I Googled about my packet moving backwards and it seems like it's common. I was just worried that I'd be sitting and waiting another 5 months for an update. And my status says the same thing regarding evidence past due. I thought I didn't...

My packet moved from gathering evidence to decision approval on Nov. 20. The next day it went to review of evidence. Now it's saying review of evidence restarted on Nov. 21. Why did it do this? It also say requested evidence is past due, but I have no idea what it's talking about.

I didn't know where to post this hopefully this is the right place. I am in a serious problem right now, I am getting Med boarded for rapid cycling bipolar disorder which means I have a chemical imbalance and that my moods can change during the day at any moment and I can become extremely...

I know you guys get asked these questions a million times, but I'm just trying to figure it out and trying to calm down about it a little. According to the scales I feel I fall into both 50 and 70% on my c&p exam paper work it states I have moderate symptoms in all three memory categories, sleep...
