I would make sure all of your doctors know that you are applying for ssdi. I went through the whole denial prodess for a year with my mother in law, we hired a private attorney, he took 25% of here retro disability payment but it was worth it in the end, she won. Alot of time the attorney will let you know your chances of winning the case before hand. When I applied I had to cut my hours at work because I made too much when I did the awarded me my disability the second time around, now I am no longer working, just looking for something part time. Stick with it and make sure you are on the same page as your doctors, but my advice would be the attorney, good luck to you.
