I had my first spirometry test done in Sept of 2016 and was officially DX in Oct of 2016. I started my SSD claim in Nov of 2016.

What does " meeting a Listing within 30 days '' mean ?

On Aug 1st I had gone to Urgent Care and had an x-ray of my lungs, the results where ‘unremarkable’. I was told by the UC doctor that I should go to the ER because my oxygen was low 82/85. The doctors in the ER did an EKG, blood work (they took a lot of blood), a CT and a few other tests. They (for some reason I had quite a few doctors lol) came in and told me that I was having a COPD exacerbation, that I had pneumonia and sepsis. I’m not sure how the doctors in the hospital where able to DX COPD without a spirometry. CT ?

In 2017 I was DX with colitis and degenerative disc disease ...getting old sucks lol

Thanks for the advice on the OTR.
