Thanks everyone. This has been very helpful and has confirmed all of my thoughts on the matter. We have a phone call tonight with an attorney whom I talked with on Friday. She has experience with these cases. She said that the 3 hospitalization last year will strengthen his claim and she may be able to argue the work as a failed work attempt since it was so staggered. she has a lot of experience with mental illness cases so we will find out tonight if she will officially take the case (she needed to talk to my husband since he is the applicant, hence the phone call).

As far as the daily activities, yes...we will need to focus on difficulty. It won't be a fabrication either, it just is something that neither of us like to think about (the fact that I have to remind him to brush his teeth, his inability to remember to do everyday tasks, etc).
