The only "reason" was one part on the last page:

You state that you are disabled and unable to work because of bipolar disorder. You last met the insured status for consideration for disability benefits on 09/30/2009. The evidence shows you had some restrictions on or before this date. However, it is determined that your condition(s) would not have prevented you from performing your past work as a/an cashier as this job was normally performed in the national economy.

That's it. And I'd like to point out that the only time in my life that I was a cashier was from 16-18 when I was in high school and I worked 15 hours a week. I graduated from HS in 1994. I find it to be the height of irony that they suggest that I become a cashier since one of my primary problems (I have tons, but a big one) is that I have great difficulty speaking with or interacting with people, especially strangers. My pdoc stated that in his summary.
He did tell me that he's never had a client in 25 years get accepted on the first try. He also said that they almost always suggest people with mental problems do the ticket taker thing. WTF?
Considering the entire letter was obviously a form letter with a few "personalized" things filled in, I have an extremely hard time believing they read one page of my medical report. I have clear documentation of my illness and deterioration over the past 6 years.
I'm trying very hard to get the courage to get a lawyer. I am scared as hell of people and the thought of talking to a lawyer is truly paralyzing to me.
