Default quick approval - little backpay

I was approved so rapidly that I got very little backpay. I got a letter of approval, but they never told me on what basis I was approved. My dx's included major depression; essential tremor; spondalolesthesis; spinal stenosis; restless leg syndrome. MHMR filled out the application forms for me due to my tremor, and I provided dr's name/address and medications for each dx. Then I scribbled on the back page of the second form what activities each dx kept me from doing. Major depression makes it hard to initiate and maintain activity; essential tremor interferes with writing and computer use rapid enough to hold a job; the spinal/back dx's interfere with vacuuming, raking, sitting, and so forth. I think this linkage of each dx with the interference with maintaining work was valuable, and doctor's records apparently supported this.
