Hello Obiron: Unfortunately I don't know a lot about SSDI applications. However it has always been my impression that initial applications are pretty-much routinely denied. One then has to appeal, preferably with the help of an experienced attorney, in order to have a chance at being approved.

Anyway... I noticed this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral! I hope you find the time you spend here to be of benefit. May I suggest you introduce yourself over on PC's New Member Introductions forum? Here's a link:
