G'morning Drea,

I'm sorry for the situation you are in, I've been there myself although its been a long time, I still remember how it feels, hang in there k, and I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

I just wanted to let you in on some advise that was given me way back when I filed for SSDI. A book called Nolo's Guide to Social Security. You can check it out at any library, and read it carefully. I used that book and filed myself and won my SSDI on the first try, no lawyer needed. Needless to say, I bought myself a copy of that book as it is a wealth of information. I cannot guarantee it will work for everyone, but I think its worth a try first before retaining a lawyer who will take his cut from your money.

Take care and hang in there k,
Dee
