...my disability claim has been approved. I applied four times and hired an attorney for the last one. My diagnoses read like alphabet soup. Bipolar 2, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, GAD, IED and I think one more. It's hard to keep up.

My case is unusual. Basically, both my attorney and the judge agreed that I should have been approved years ago when I first appealed. It's rare that a judge will give their ruling during the hearing, much less have it put on the record. That's how open and shut my case was, and still I was denied until I hired an attorney. Even with that, it took at least two years to finally get a court date. Ridiculous.
I'd advise anyone who needs disability to just skip to the attorney. You don't have to pay them, the government does. You will save yourself literally years of aggravation. It was a horrible experience.
