I was denied the first application. But my cognitive abilities prevent me from working, and my neurologist assisted me with filling out the forms.
I miss working...but I know that I wouldn't be able to do any work, physical or mental.
When you reapply, first of all you have to have a neuropsych eval. Then when filliing out your app, write in simple sentences. Explain how difficult, specifically, working was due to cognitive impairment.
Wish I didn't qualify, but the second time I was accepted. I'm grateful, but sad
