Same. I got sick with another really insidious issue, fibromyalgia. Impossible to prove to the nth degree that the initial claim wanted. I was waiting to head to court and got a call today. Judge approved all of it without a hearing. I am still in a total state of shock. Was googling looking to see if this ever happens and came across your website here. My thoughts and good energy are with all of you. I am trying to understand how it works from here. I never even thought past getting approved for ssi ssd. A miracle !!
