Change the disability determination system.

Created by J.M. on November 21, 2012

Using myself as an example, I was born disabled with a bone disorder in both feet that make it painfully difficult to walk, from an early age and worse now that I am in my late 30's. I was also born with fibromyalgia that was mistakenly diagnosed as a few other things until recently. I have filed for disability 3 times because of doctor's reports and medical evidence supporting my disability claim. I am still getting denied. I have not been able to work for 6 years because of these disorders. I am asking for support from anyone in a similar situation for one of three options-

grant me a favorable disability decision with backpay.

student loan forgiveness and help retraining in a different field that doesn't exacerbate my conditions.

kill me.

thanks
