I don't know details but it seems very important to be undergoing regular treatment for your illness(es), as well as your treatment team believing you are disabled under SSDI guidelines.
I had virtually none of that and even the attorney handing my appeal had said I had no chance of being approved. But then after I had no transportation to the appeal hearing and it was re-scheduled, my case was reviewed by a different judge than I would have had and she listened to me.
