Also, I was told to apply as soon as possible, so that is why I made the appointment for the 26th.

I'm actually supposed to see a specialist in scoliosis deformity, and I think that is why the other neurosurgeon didn't state anything too definite. His hope is that if the deformity surgeon finds it possible, that I get surgery and maybe improve pain wise. Because of that, I was hesitant to apply at first but was told that I should maybe go ahead with it because it has almost been a year since this started.

Does it make sense to pursue the application right now, or is this something I should wait for until I hear the other specialist's opinion? I have just gotten in the 'habit' of putting this off by saying 'well, I have another appointment, maybe I should wait to see what s/he says,' and it leads to another appointment and more hesitation.

I guess what I am asking is basically, should I get more definite records of my doctors saying 'yes he is disabled and this is why' first...or is that something I can consult them about now while I am in the process of applying?
