My doctor, who is very smart and very supportive of me, has just told me that how hard it is to get SSDI varies greatly from state to state. I was kind of shocked to hear this. I had thought that it would be the same through out the country, since it is a federal program.
NOT SO. I believe he knows what he is talking about. He is very smart. He told me that the state I live in is one of the really tough states in which to get a claim approved. I had no idea of that.
Does anyone else have any knowledge about this supposed variation among states in how high they set the bar for what they consider disability? I'm getting a bit anxious, since hearing this.
