i have been rejected by SSDI thru the 3rd step of having a hearing before a SS judge. my case is before the appeals board. SSDI is an insurance policy with specific earnings requirements the last 5 years from when you apply, your SS benefits are set while SSDI benefits have a 5 year window and suffice it to say i really screwed up getting SSDI, applied in 2015 and had to prove i was disabled before 1/01/2013. tough to do when i rarely saw my neuro, rarely saw my customers, lived alone and never let anyone see me "with pd", i responded very well to L-DOPA even after 10years. knowing i had a tough case i hired a lawyer from the get go, the lawyer told me she had never had pd case go before a judge before.
