Great News!!!!

[Billydude]

I just received a phone call this morning from Social Security and they have approved my SSDI claim first time around.   I am so relieved I can't tell you!!!!!!!      I had been feeling a bit depressed but I think this will make an impact on that.
If I can recommend anything to anyone on this is to use a law firm from the get go.   I'm told that social security takes these cases more seriously because they know a law firm won't take you on unless they are sure they have a case that can be won.   I used www.disabilitygroup.com

Congratulations, not too many get approved the first time around. And ,to get approved just before the holiday, even a better blessing.

WOOHOO!!!!!
Steve,
This is wonderful news.  Rest easy now and be happy.  Maybe with the stress and anxiety over you will start to feel better. 

Again, congratulations.

I saw the thread title and knew what it was about.  Then my computer locked up and I couldn't read it.  Congrats big time and may your heart be lighter.  This affirmation (and money) can alone make you feel better.  Lucy

Thanks everyone.   What a load off my mind.  I'm sure the anxiety of waiting and wondering was contributing to my major flares and depression.   I'm sure it will help with the way I feel.

Congrats, Steve!!

So glad you got the SSDI.

My daughter has RA and didn't want to split the $$ with the attorney so she tried once on her own and lost.  The second time she tried and the case worker helped her fill out the form.

She GOT it and it cost her nothing.  The check is only about $560/mo. but it helps.
