I also got benefits on the first try. My biggest advice is to not sugarcoat the difficulty you have simply living your life. I also got reports of my swallowing study, my optometrist’s report and even a letter from my boss which stated I was unable to perform my job in any capacity. Ouch! It is a depressing process. However, the relief is incredible when you are approved.

I am happy to help you if need anything. Good luck.
