I was diagnosed in Dec 2016 and I applied for social security right away. I received a denial letter already stating "Though you do have discomfort, the evidence shows you are still ale to move about and to use your arms, hands and legs in a satisfactory manner." and "your condition results in some limitations in your ability to perform work related activities. We have determined that your condition is not severe enough to keep you from working". I applied right away, based on the sticky that ALS is a TERI qualified illness. I want to be prepared.....
Am I supposed to work until I am useless? Any suggestions? I'm worried about surviving financially. I have bulbar als, but I fatigue easily and need naps more than usual
