This would be a suitable job as there is not much holding, grasping or otherwise working with your hands."

I seriously had to laugh at that, not to mention they say "your medical does show you have had a hand problem, but it is stabilized."

So no mention regarding the established depression & anxiety and no mention of the fact that both of my hands have problems. ( my left thumb is completely fused and right thumb is half fused.) (not saying that alone would allow me SSD) but to say it is stable? what does that mean? It is permanently damaged and has almost no use, is that considered stable? I knew going in to this is was going to be another fight, but ok then, on we go!
