EDD disability appeal due to work issue - need urgent help!

Ugh, I've been there. The disability appeal process can be a real headache. First thing you need to do is carefully read through that email. It sounds like they might be questioning your work status or history. Did you maybe work part-time or do any freelance stuff while on disability?

Hey there! I actually found a way to get someone on the phone about this kinda thing. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Listen up, because I've been through this rodeo before. Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather ALL your medical records. I mean everything - doctor's notes, test results, prescriptions, the works. 2. Write a detailed statement about your condition and how it affects your ability to work. 3. If you did any work, even part-time or gig stuff, get documentation for that too. 4. Look up the exact regulations they're using to deny you. Knowledge is power! 5. Consider getting a disability lawyer. Many work on contingency. 6. Submit your appeal ASAP - there are usually strict deadlines. 7. Keep copies of EVERYTHING you send them. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!

have you tried calling the EDD? sometimes talking to a real person can clear things up quick

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue last year. Turns out I had reported some income wrong on one of my forms. Double-check all your paperwork, sometimes it's just a simple mistake that triggers these things.

Oof, appeals are the worst. Make sure you respond within the deadline they give you, even if you don't have all the info yet. You can always submit more stuff later, but missing that initial deadline can sink your whole case.

Not to be that guy, but have you considered looking for work that accommodates your disability? I know its not always possible, but sometimes theres options out there we dont know about. Just a thought!
