I did......but it took 3 years and an ALJ decision to get that approval. I'm sure that it didn't help that I was only 39 when I became disabled and 40 when I applied for SSDI.

I guess I'm on your husband's "side" on this. It's not that I think a note from his previous boss saying his job was generally not supervisory in nature would hurt, I just don't think it would do any good/prove anything useful.....therefore would be just a big waste of time and effort. That is just my opinion, others may feel differently. I think your focus should be on proving that he is not capable of doing ANY SGA, not quibbling about the specifics of a past job. Your quest would be trying to show that he couldn't easily find work as a supervisor because of his past resume. You need to prove he can't do that work, or ANY work, because of his disabilities. For example, if he can only be out of bed and functional for an hour or two at a time and then must lay down and take meds that affect his ability to concentrate and make important decisions, it doesn't matter that he could POSSIBLY supervise (if he was found qualified by an employer) others in that hour or two of "quality" time ......he CAN'T supervise them or do any kind of SGA for the next several hours when he must lay down and take those mind altering meds. That's why he couldn't do SGA.

I understand that you are just trying to be thorough and cover all the bases.....he is lucky to have your support and help.
