Answer Qustions 1-6 if you've been approved or 6-7 if you've not yet been approved.

Approved
1. How long did it take you from application to approval? Going on 4 years

2. At what level did you receive approval? Still not approved

3. Date approved
A) Within past year
B) 1-5 years ago
C) 5 + years ago

4. What level did an attorney begin representing you? After the 2nd letter that we were not approved

5. Your age at application.
A) Under 30
B) 30-39 XXXXX
C) 40-49
D) 50-54
E) 55+

Not Yet Approved
6. How long ago did you apply? We applied 4 years ago but at this time we still do not have diagnoses other than chronic pain

7. What level are you currently at?
We have applied all the way to the final step was civil court but our lawyer did not think we would win without diagnoses so we started over from the beginning of the processes and we are now on our first appeal again. It’s all so crazy. They say my husband cannot go back to his past job but they feel he can do different kind of work. Yet he spends 80% of his time in bed with his legs up on lots of pillows in lots of pain.
