How can you volunteer on a regular basis, with a depression? Do you really know when you will feel well enough to be on a schedule?
If you can be on a schedule you condition has improved and you are no longer disabled.
I am talking here about a mental health flareup or decompensation.
When your psychiatrist/ psychologist describes your mental health problem; they have to use SSA terms.

I want to wish you good luck with your case.

I have multiple sclerosis (or possibly CNS Lupus). I am not in a depression. Are you confusing me wih someone else?
I have not read anything in your links that says "if you can be on a schedule, you are no longer disabled." So far, that quote only comes from you. Yes, playing piano is a sit down activity. So is watching TV and eating lunch. Can I not do those either, without jeopardizing my claim?
I am currently volunteering only 3 hours a week! You have not acknowledged that I am volunteering very little, even though I have stated it repeatedly.
I am unable to work an 8 hour day, or probably anything longer than about 3 hours at a time, without a nap.
