Took me an entire year to get SSDI... hard to believe it was 11 years ago already. Apply, rejection; first appeal, rejection; second appeal, hire a lawyer and finally get in. In the meantime, eat up all my savings. What got me in was my pain docs, who had a medical file on me a foot thick. Their reports put me over the top, plus a good disability lawyer. It's hard, but don't take SS rejection personally. The first 2 rejections are automatic unless ur blind, para or quad. You'll get in.
