Bebop,

Have you talked to their lame psychologist's or pdoc's yet. I don't remember what I went through....so many years ago.

My husband just went through it however. The first time he applied several years ago, he was immediately denied.....nothing....just a letter saying "tough luck" (well not exactly). He said great, I'm not disabled....I didn't feel disabled anyway.

Several years later, we finally pushed him into filing again.....both my pdoc & psychologist know him & he went through the research group for adult ADD with my pdoc & was Dx'ed with adult ADD. Both my pdoc & psychologist filled out the forms for his disability this time (they did the last time too, but not enough information at the time). He filled out his part, & I just didn't get around to my part (oh well). He got a phone call telling him he had to go see one of their psychologists & answer some real stupid questions. Awhile after that, he got a phone call to come in & determine something about SSI which he doesn't qualify for.....way too much money for that (but not enough to live on). That was when they told him he qualified for the SSDI.....same thing I started receiving years ago.

It sounds like you are on the approval track......but one can never tell with these guys until you actually talk to them....but usually if they are going to deny, they do it right away without talking to you, so my guess is that you are going to be approved.

Good luck,
Debbie
