I'm so sorry to know this
BUT! Don't throw in the towel just yet! From what I understand, almost ALL applications are denied the first time around. By doing this, they hope that most applicants will stop at that.
PLEASE get someone to advocate for you, as you certainly DO have grounds to stand on!!

Check out our SS Disability Forum - some very knowledgable folks there who can be of great help!

I truly hope things will start turning around for you
