SSP payments are made available on the same day as SSI payments. Those who receive both SSI and SSP receive two checks or two direct deposits, one from SSA and one from the state. Those who receive only SSP receive one check or one direct deposit from the state.
Diagnosis of GERD is based on: 1  Your symptoms. 2  A test to monitor the amount of acid in your esophagus. 3  An X-ray of your upper digestive system.  A flexible tube to look inside your 1  esophagus. A test to measure the movement of the esophagus.  Preparing for your 1  appointment. Treatments and  drugs.
The main diagnostic tests include an endoscopic examination of the esophagus and stomach to check for inflammation or ulceration; a test to check for acid in the esophagus (this would be negative if bile reflux is the only problem), and a test to determine if gas or liquids reflux into the esophagus.
