I am in Nor Cal too and I didnt apply to ssi.. but they signed me up for it. I got a denied with in a month - it was a little short of a month. I am still waiting for ssdi - I am going on month 7.. and still waiting. I have been referred to a chonic pain program and I think tehy are just waiting to see what that is.

I will say though last month they sent me to a doctor - and now want me to see a psych. I see the psych next week. I saw their doc about a month ago... which .. was a super huge joke. I dont want to laugh.. but it was sad.. sillly and frankly i wonder if I had the janitor.

Cant wait to see the psych if that was their idea of a physical exam.
