I have a fairly close family friend that is an attorney. He isn't a social security lawyer though. He looked at my medical records and everything else and said that according to the SSA Bluebook, I am definitely qualified for SSDI. He didn't think I should hire another lawyer until I hear from SSA. He said if he was a social security lawyer, he would jump on my claim with both feet.

One thing he did point out is, if the DDS office didn't look at everything on my claim as I found out. He thinks this is a clear violation of my rights, this happens to be his specialty, a person’s right to fair judgment. Right now, I'm putting myself into a holding pattern and just wait and see what happens next.
