Read this post that Jo*mar wrote. Read it again and again and again.
A diagnosis is NOT an automatic approval. Lit Love has spelled out the rules used by SSDI. (In great detail and on numerous occasions.)
Just because you have an article that indicates SFN can be debilitating will not persuade SSDI to approve your claim. Read the above again. It is NOT the dx, it is how an illness affects you and your abilities to perform work.
You gave an example of this yourself when you mentioned a blind singer that is capable of earning above the amount specified by SSDI.
You stated in your paperwork submitted to SSDI, how your life is affected by your medical conditions but this is only from YOU. SSDI needs medical documentation that supports your statements AND that your treating physician attests to the reasonableness for someone to experience those limitations with your conditions.
