The vocational expert said "No, in a case like that there would be no jobs the person could perform". I was still denied. This was after I had liver and kidney failure and could barely get out of bed to bath and use the bathroom. Plus I have a whole list of other conditions. Every condition I have is on their disability list of qualifying conditions. How did I get denied? I don't understand. If someone has any insight into how they make a decision, I would love to hear it. To me it seems totally random on who is accepted and who is denied.

The ALJ usually phrases the Voc Counselor questions as a hypothetical. So if the ALJ decides the medical documentation fits the RFC, then he/she will likely find a FF decision if the Voc Counselor determines no other work could be performed.
But, why you were denied? The only way to hazard a guess would be to read the transcript and the decision, and to look at your file.
