I am in Pennsylvania and I had to see an ALJ. They don't make it easy. If we still had Commissioner Saul he would have made it a lot harder. I believe he actually did but Biden undid some of the damage from Saul. Our reviews would have been every 2 years or sooner and they would want us to basically be unable to stand or walk. While that would indicate a disability they are often mental too but they don't typically manifest themselves as a physical disability unless it is in a part of the brain responsible for the movement of our body. In my case my learning disabilities just make things school related much more difficult and outside of a school environment they can make some mental tasks more difficult. My handwriting is terrible, I don't do complex math AT ALL, I am slow to complete any assignments if I complete them at all. These things do not prevent me from operating a motor vehicle or being my own payee for benefits.

I do have some questions for you if you could possibly answer them for me concerning SSD

[@itsthejerseywaynoneya9652]

I live in Arlington Va on 9/29/21 and I called SSA about 2 weeks later and they told me my application is in “ pending “ status and to call back on Jan/26-2022 if I don’t hear anything from them. Is that a good thing or a normal thing for an initial application in Virginia ?
