Thank you both for your experienced words.

I read the link and I did have breaks in between reurning to work at different positions/job functions, trying to find something that I could do with no avail.

I decided to go ahead with my application after my husband and I read all we could find. I figured that honestly, it is what it is and will take it as it comes. I completed the application the best I could with all the documents I have since this head injury/hemorrage has been documented. I did write about my problems throughout my working career and all the head injuries and abuse I sustained as a young person.

I honestly do not have a date when all this began for me. I listed my date as the date of my most recent accident (where I seemed to have suffered the most with documentation). I have had TBI issues for years (now understanding) and doing my best to just move forward.

I also figured it was in my best interest to atleast try to apply on my own. If denied, then move forward with what they throw at me. My documentation is pretty straight forward thus far (waiting for neuropsyc eval to support) and I am hopeful this will work out. I am realistic that it could potentially be a struggle but I cannot dwell on the what if's right now. I am already having a difficult time with the what is.
