Rsd is not on the automatic SSD list-It is a case by case determanation. I was truely lucky -filed on my own -no lawyer-and was granted approval in 3 weeks. I have no other illness except RSD. I did have to quit my job and relocate,could barely walk and have since have SCS implant. ALSO SSDSI is different than SSD and you may not qualify-I did not. Hope this helps-Fondly-Carol
PS. RSD.org is working on legislation to try to get RSD as automatic for SSD, I am not holding by breath however.
