Both. The process in my state is terrible . I have a friend in Alabama ( just an hour south of me) that filed under fibromyalgia only and was authorized in 6 weeks. She can not believe with my bipolar and fibromyalgia that I was denied and I have to wait for a hearing ( could be another year) , even once the hearing is complete it can be another 6 months before you are actually approved.
Meanwhile I struggle because I no longer have health insurance so many medications that would give me some much needed relief from chronic pain is out of my reach.
*end rant*
