I'm on SSDI but my disorder is a bit different so I won't comment on the chance of getting SSDI.

I do want to challenge you on your perception that the fight is over....No, its not over in the least. SSDI isn't "throwing in the towel" Rather, it enables you to focus on your healing so that you can get to a better place in life without having to go to work 40 hours a week. I know that the vast majority of those who are on SSDI will be on for life, but there are those of us who are determined to get better, are getting better, and will be able to be a heck of a lot more productive in the future. SSDI is in no way, shape, or form a death trap.
