Hi,

Just wanted to add my two cents, hope no one minds: Back when I had to apply, someone on BT told me about a book called: Nolo's Guide to Social Security. I went to the library, checked it out, took it home and it took me step by step through the application process. I was approved on the first try. I have since bought the book, just to have on hand as it is a wealth of information.

Hopefully it will help you and anyone else applying.

take care,
Dee
