After only 2 1/2 years, one denial, and help of attorney specializing in SSDI appeals, I talk to Judge for 3-5 minutes and, voila, approved! Hope your attempts are smoother, but I'm told I am the exception. Get all the "inside" help you can is my advice. Start by contacting someone at NAMI is also my advice. Ask around for people who know how to get approved.


Good for you, Ricovring! I know this is a rocky road. My son has been disabled since birth and even with that, there were some trying times but you're right, it certainly does help to get to know people who work with this stuff all the time. Thanks for sharing your success story!
