Social Security disability determination...sm

Subject: Social Security disability determination...sm

Social Security is a proper name and is always capitalized as such, but disability is not part of an official program name. The other proper name associated with SS is Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which is the proper name of a program administered by Social Security. (Don't ya just love government stuff?) ;)

I had Firefox for a while, and it was okay, but I am so accustomed to IE that I went back to it. So I don't remember how similar or different the security options are. But you can try designating MT Stars as a "safe" site, or a site where you "allow cookies"....if you poke around in the Tools/Options settings, you should find something that will alleviate the problem.


Good luck!

Deconditioning.  Due to the patient’s disability she will be recommended for full _______ disability.  This letter has been written and faxed today.


I cannot hear what the doctor is saying, she is slurring the word.  She is not saying "status or benefits".  


Any ideas would be appreciated.
