Billy I'm new here can you tell me what it means to be "prepared" I'm assuming I need to have all my medical records from my Neurologist, but what else? I have non diabetic unexplained PN. Would love to hear advise on how to become more prepared, and how do I go about filing? Do I have to report in person to a SS office or are there forms on line to begin the process? Also what about all the lawyers you see adverising on TV who will "help" you apply or fight a denial of SSDI.
I've done a search on the site here and found some stuff but not a lot. I thought I remembered a year or so ago someone on this site who was helping others go through the process.
Thanks for any insight you may have about the process I face going forward with the SSA.
