I am with you Bret. My heart goes out to you. I have been trying to get on disability since 2009. What a joke. I am bedridden. I don't understand how they can deny me. Well good news- I have what looks like a brain tumor on MRI. Maybe this will be enough for them. So frustrated. So hard to deal with social security with a brain injury and chronic pain. If anyone knows the answer to this question it would help me- when can you hire a lawyer? Do you have to be denied once on a new claim? I had a lawyer after being denied twice and was denied again at ALJ level. My lawyer dropped me. Said he does not do appeals after ALJ. So I started a new claim. If I am denied then can I get a lawyer? I will most likely kill myself if denied again so I guess it doesn't matter
