Can you make a thread on it?

Wow, good deal. I hear it takes forever and that you should have a lawyer along with sustained treatment and documentation that you're unable to work.

That's fantastic! That gives you relief from being broke and you can relax and try to heal. Also, you qualify for food stamps now. Get ALL the help you can get.

Are you in California?

Yes, I'm in California. I was denied on my first attempt. Then, I hired a lawyer in the Bay Area, Harvey Sackett, who got me approved during the reconsideration stage. About 90% of people are denied at that stage. it took 14 months total

@JeffToob I am grateful that I have established financial stability over the years and made prudent investments. I understand how challenging it can be for many people to leave work, and my heart goes to them. While waiting for a decision, I had an STD and an LTD policy and was approved for both. Additionally, My home is paid off.
