The best way to qualify is for you and your drs. to paint your situation in the darkest way that is still honest. I just had my renewal and my therapist said several times that if I had to go through what I have this year the one benefit is that it made it really easy to emphasize how ill I am on the renewal papers. It's hard reading what he wrote even though I know he was using the worst he could honestly say and that it agreed with my paperwork using the worst I could honestly say but it's still hard to read that I'm very impulsive, lack insight and have limited judgment, my appearance can be disheveled, etc. But I know if he wrote them about the best I can be they'd deny my application even though the best isn't how I am 99% of the time.
I would be upset if diagnoses I didn't know I had appeared without warning but getting low estimates of abilities will only help you.
