I never would have gotten disability if it had not been for hiring a lawyer. The lawyer and I also contacted every therapist and health care person I saw and asked them to write a letter on my behalf. It was ultimatly the letters that were convincing beyong question. But I firmly believe that I never would have gotten the disability if it had not been for the lawyer. I am not going to say it was a quick process. For some it was quick. For me it was not. So please do be patient. good luck to you.
