Thank you for editing your other post. From what I have learned -- through reading and listening to others' posts, here and in other groups -- all states do NOT handle these claims the same. And, all people who are in charge of approving/denying claims are NOT equally "trained" or "competent", in my opinion. I seriously doubt if the doctor who denied me the first time even knew what Myasthenia Gravis was -- even though it is ON THE SS LIST!

I had no desire to start an argument -- but, until you have walked in "our shoes" -- faced denial -- it is really impossible to understand HOW it feels. It is NOT something that I care to revisit -- not even a situation that I would wish on my worst enemy.
