I filed under Fibro and Bipolar... of course denied , I hired a lawyer so I appealed and again denied so I had to go to a hearing.

My state was so back logged by the time I sat in front of a judge it was 3.5 years.. she told me I should have never been denied, but at least I got all my back pay from the day I filed I was able to pay off my car.

As for it effecting children I have no idea. I would consult with a lawyer about that.

Fibromyalgia was added as a approved diagnosis to file for disability but Bipolar carries more weight. Does your Pdoc and GP feel you should apply ?? It’s virtually impossible to get disability unless your providers agree.

Good luck
