and the judge denied me because I could doff my shoes and socks, and then put them back on. The only problem is............I WAS wearing FLIP FLOPS!!!

I fired my attorney, and got another, and am still fighting. Now the wait is for the Appeals Council ruling.
This month makes one full year since we went before the ALJ.

I hope to hear something SOON!

Dont give up! Keep up the fight! Unless you want to try a new claim and lose all the backpay you have earned. Sometimes the second time around is a breeze I hear, but nothing for all the time and trouble of the first claim
