Well...everyone always told me the thing I had going against me mostly was the fact that I was so young. I informed all my doctors upfront about applying for SSDI, and got all there support. I had surgery for my back. The thing that really surprised me most about my case was I mostly was awarded for mental conditions rather than physical, and I didnt even file for those. I hired ALLSUP through my long term disability and they found the records for my depression, anxiety, and bi-polar, then submitted those with the rest of my case file.

Now...Do I think you have a good case? Every case is different, some are approved at the initial level, and some have to go to the ALJ. It is very important to keep good records, keep your doctor informed of your conditions, hire a lawyer to represent you for the hearing if you actually have to go that far, and don't get frustrated over denials. I wish you all the luck!
