I'm so sorry Deb.

When I read about people who's applications are denied but who deserve to be accepted, first I feel guilty because my own acceptance came so quickly, then I feel angry that some people I know sit back and "rip the system off".

It makes me so cross when people fabricate ailments and then get accepted when others are struggling with the real thing, and I have 2 relatives who fall into the former category!

I've never heard of anyone here in Australia having to hire a lawyer for this type of claim though. As far as I know we just have to write a letter explaining our case, but maybe things have changed. It's 3 years since I went on disability.

Please try again, and do what the others suggest. Keep records of absolutely everything.

Good luck Deb.
