Maybe no one has any advice to give you and have never heard of presumed disability. :shrug:

Suggest you try Googling it if you haven't already. There are some links out there. Don't know if they apply to your specific case or not. :shrug: You might also want to consult with a disability or worker's compensation attorney. Good Luck.

Is this what you are looking for?

Social Security presumes permanent disability status for any of the following:

• permanent loss of use of both hands, both feet, or one hand and one foot,

• amputation of a leg at the hip,

• amputation of a leg or foot because of diabetes mellitus or peripheral vascular diseases,

• total deafness, not correctable by surgery or hearing aid,

• statutory blindness, unless caused by cataracts or detached retina,

• IQ of 59 or less, established after the individual reaches age 16.

• spinal cord or nerve root lesions resulting in paraplegia or quadriplegia,

• multiple sclerosis in which there is damage to the nervous system because of scattered areas of inflammation. The inflammation recurs and has progressed to varied interference with the function of the nervous system, including severe muscle weakness, paralysis, and vision and speech defects,

• muscular dystrophy with irreversible wasting of the muscles, impairing the use of arms or legs,

• Down’s Syndrome (mongolism),

• Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS),

• impaired kidney function caused by chronic renal disease, resulting in severely reduced function which may require dialysis or kidney transplant, or

• amputation of a limb of an individual age 55 or older.

Social Security considers certain additional conditions as permanent disabilities. Social Security refers to these conditions as "MINE" (Medical Improvement Not Expected) disabilities. Each Division of Family Assistance District Office Supervisor has a copy of the MINE list.

It seems if you have one of the listed disabilities above or one as listed on the MINE list then they are just starting your benefit early (as they seem to understand you are in a hardship status) until the medical evaluation has been completed and a determination made as to your permanent status.
