Yesterday, I received a denial letter from my disability judge. The reasons were very bizarre:
1. I go to A.A. Their logic is that, if I can make to an A.A. meeting, I can make it to a job.
2. I was going to church for a while. I've only been to a church service once in over a year, although I was active in the church several years ago--but I hardly go to church anymore (besides, I don't see what that has to do with anything).
3. I used to do some volunteer work. They're claiming I'm still doing that, even though I was very clear that it has been well over a year.
4. Because I don't look like I'm starving.
5. Because I'm "able to go shopping," but I was very clear that it was very difficult for me and I often have panic attacks.
6. Because sometimes I have better days.
7. They claim I refused to go to my group therapy sessions, which is not true.
8. They claim I stated I could stay on my feet for six hours straight, which is not true.
9. they claim I stated I could carry around 20 pounds easily--which is also not true.

I'm sorry. Are you going to appeal? Did you have a lawyer when you applied? It can be easier with a lawyer I have heard.

This is disturbing and discouraging, Shortandcute. Appeal. With a lawyer who specializes in social security disability.
