He was very supportive of filling out any papers I need for disability. I was so nervous. I told him I would see him in a year unless I had a major problem. He said to give him a call anytime I need some refills. He was very nice, and supportive. He said the school environment was not a good place for me to be.

Hope you're all ok

Susan, you are lucky to have this dr on your side.  SSD is likely to go smoother if you have at least one dr who agrees with your situation.  Others usually follow along if that's the case.  It doesn't mean victory, but it sure works to your benefit.  Good luck, Lucy

Hi!  Are you able to share your location, or the name of this Doctor?  There are many of us with unsupportive doctors.
