It turns out that not all states treat SSDI applicants the same. The following is the list of the states that approve more than 50% of initial applicants. Minnesota, on the contrary, approves 46%. So now I am looking at spending two years in a high approver state. Ruling out high rent states, I am left with cold winter states, primarily Wyoming. Does anyone know much about those states and in particular cities inside those states?

Hawaii 51.3%
Nebraska 51.7%
South Dakota 52%
Maryland 52.3%
New York 52.9%
Alaska 53.2%
Delaware 53.5%
Massachusetts 53.6%
Vermont 53.8%
North Dakota 53.9%
District of Columbia 55.4%
New Hampshire 56.8%
Wyoming 59.1%
New Jersey 59.4%
