Walker, thanks for the info. My case is almost 8 years old, 2 hearing, 2 denials, 2 appeals to the applals council. This will now be my 3rd hearing when they schedule it. I'm looking at april 1 for a possible hearing date. You make me feel better about the CE doctor. My own physicians have repeatedly said I could not do the things that the CE doctor said I could do. Again, thanks for you help[/QUOTE]walker,8 years is a long time trying to win ssdi benefits.most people would have given up at this point.you have a lot of patients and persistance..i hope when april rolls around you can win your benefits.
