No, my initial application was denied and then a judge approved me on-the-spot during my appeal hearing.

I had no diagnosis, just my initial statement that I could no longer work. No doctor would help me, and then the two doctors the SSA sent me to see were antagonistic. So where your case and mine might have been greatly different in regard to documentation, the bottom line is still identical.
