I've been approved for over 5 years.
Do your homework before submitting your application. Answer questions diligently. Talk to your doctor (s) to be sure you have support from them.

SSD
I was Diagnosed in 2003 while pregnant with Twins with RRMS. No one told me that SSD worked on a credits. I had every intention on going back to work, but between my lesions and my medications my memory retention isn't there anymore. I've been denied by the ALJ. It is the most degrading thing to go infront of a judge and try to make them understand what is going on inside your head. Now I'm trying to rejoin the work force? After being out of it for 10 years. I'm now being treated for depression. I should have filed for SSD the minute I as Diagnosed

Hi, bandilady. So sorry to hear about your experience. Did you appeal the ALJ denial?
