I live in Washington state. I noticed in your bio you stated your location was the NW, so I assumed it meant the northwest. I wonder if some places do take longer, because of whatever reason. But, yeah, I've seen people who get it who are obviously not disabled and get it right away. One reason I was denied this last time is because sometimes I walk for about 10-20 minutes. Yet my neighbor, who goes on 10 mile bike rides and works out at the gym all the time, got it in a heartbeat because occasionally her back hurts. She also is taking classes all the time and is hardly ever at home because she is involved in so much stuff. Of course, I don't mean that she should not be doing anything, but it's amazing that I can't get it because I allegedly "do too much" for someone who is disabled, and I can't even do half the stuff she does and am in worse shape than she is.
