Default Epilepsy, non working meds, and fighting with disability. UGH!

I was diagnosed with E in 2006, and it changed my life. I was an on air radio personality, and it put a quick stop to that! I filed for disability in 09, denied, denied, denied, now appealing in federal court with another one going with a new atty. he just filed, a little over a month ago, a request for an OTR decision. My meds do not work, and trust me, i have been on many of them, several at many different times. i also have other health issues associated with E, depression, bipolar, etc. M question is, I am a 36 y/o female, havent had gainful employment since diagnosis, and with the seizures continuing and being documented by my neurologist and dr, what are my chances of getting an OTR? i had a friend research, and my new atty rarely files these.....so he must think i have some sort of shot. but maybe that is optimism.
