jacob, when I had the hearing, I left with a feeling, wow, the judge had no clue what MG is, since he seemed puzzled by my responses and asked the same questions over and over again, just worded differently.
It was a short while later I realized he was probably just testing me to see if my answers would vary.(I dont know if this was the case, but I figured its his job to make sure who is disabled and who isnt)
I dont think the people down at SS are anything more than paper filing clerks, not bad people, just not really into all the disabilities and are just filing the claims.
Its a slow process usually, so stay patient.
