That's unfortunate. I'm sorry to hear that. I'm trying to figure this stuff out too. I've checked out Nolo's guide to social security disability. I've only read a little bit, but maybe you would like to check out a similar book. As mentioned earlier it would help to get a lawyer as if you do not have one it seems as if SSA perceives you as "weak" without one and are likely to just sweep you under the rug.
