Yes, I receive ss in Aug. of 09, yes I was denied the first time. Hired an attorney and had to go to court. I had MVD surgery that didn't work, went back to work 4 monthes after the surgery but couldn't do it any more. I was a dental hygienist for 23 years, couldn't wear the mask around my face or lean over people, it was too painful.
