In their mind, if you can push a mop, answer the phone, use a computer etc. you can work. Good luck to all of you that are applying and I hope you get the benefits you deserve.
I'm kind of scared that it will go to the hearing level. Sounds stressful. But I was told if it gets to that point that I will most likely be accepted.
