Howdy howdy, sorry about the denial, but its kind of how its played out, make sure you file an appeal asap, call the local area help agencies and see if their are any free advocates to help in the process I eventually got a lawyer and yes it took two years for me to finally get approved(last week) There are a few on here who were able to get approval sooner, so don't despair just keep slugging away, its all you can do, always appeal, don't stop, that too is part of the game, it is a difficult system for a reason, it has a high percentage of folks who say screw this and stop fighting or dealing with it, good luck, one step at a time
