What everyone here should realize (60 Minutes pointed out briefly) is that............
Since the GREAT depression/recession started, there are more people than ever in the history of SSD applying for benefits. This includes folks who's worker's comp benefits have exhausted. This is especially so in states where the unemployment rate is 8%+.
To top it off, there has been an ongoing hiring freeze in the SSD claims departments for the last few years. 
Retired ALJ judges are being hired to help out in the states w/the heaviest backlogs. 
This is why I feel so sorry for the "legit" folks who are currently applying for SSD. The claims are being scrutinized with a fine tooth comb as well as w/a magnifying glass. Quite a few deserving folks will be left out in the cold.
ALWAYS GET COPIES OF YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS AS WELL AS THE DOCTORS NOTES. REVIEW THEM.
FIND AN ATTORNEY OR AN AVOCATE WHO ONLY DEALS/HANDLES SSD CASES.
CONTINUE SEEING ALL OF YOUR MEDICAL PHYSICIANS INCLUDING SPECIALIST PERTAINING TO YOUR DISABILITIES.
Good luck
