It’s a horrible, long, absolutely assinine process. I would do anything to go back to work.

I have been denied twice and now have a hearing scheduled. I have a disability attorney. I tried without one and was unsuccessful. I've heard it's normal to get rejections so you need to keep trying. What they want to see is doctors notes explaining you are in pain and your limitations in writing.

Good luck!

We hired a disability lawyer. Got us both through the first time. They get paid from your retroactive pay.
