keli449,

Thanks. I've already signed the contract with a law firm. I agree that, if I get approved, it will be well worth the money. What the lawyers get is the same in every state. I talked to a lot of law firms, and they all seemed to be eager to take the case. So I do feel encouraged now. Plus, my primary care doctor said he will do everything he can to help me.

He happens to be from California, and said that your state is one of the easier ones in which to get a claim for SSDI approved in. I hope my claim doesn't get denied due to living in the wrong state.
