Gram -This is wonderful news for all RSDers. I too was approved my 1st. time-no lawer-just tons of documentation. This was for SS disability. You are so right-God does know how much we can endure. For me it was loosing my business, moving 1100 miles, losing our dream retirement etc-etc. If I would have been denied, it probably would have pushed me over the pain mountain! Lets just keep praying that God will bless all who suffer with this monster that they get what they deserve after working all of their lives ( I am in my 60s ) now and paid into SS for many years-who should deny us what is rightully ours!! Fondly-Carol
