Anyone successfully get approved for SSI in Texas?

Messages

I read that Texas has a pretty low approval rating for SSI claims overall at around 40% while other states are more 50% or so.

Not sure how the distribution differs from the various cities within Texas but I'm wondering if anyone was able to get approved for SSI in Texas?

I know some people who got approved in CA. Either way it's a fairly long and difficult process but there's a chance I will have to move to Texas and not sure how my chances of getting SSI will be affected by the move.

Or if I get approved here in CA and move, if my chances of getting dropped due to re-certification issues are higher in TX than in CA?

Hi Davsey,

Thanks for the referral. I didn't know there were any specialists in Dallas. Dallas is the area I may be relocating to. I'm trying to figure out if I need to do the SSI process here in CA or in Dallas but if they can tele-consult that'd be good too.

Do you have any personal experience with Nancy Didrickson? If so, how did it go for you?
