I worked the last 8 years in the insurance field, writing homeowners / auto , workers comp , policies etc.
This required sitting at a desk, filing, walking to greet customers... basic office work.
So, my question, my Dr sent over paperwork to SSDI stating that I could NOT sit or Stand for any longer then 2 hours at a time with out my legs swelling or causing extreme pain.
What other " job" could I perform if they deny me?
At my IME psych exam the Dr said that I am lacking on my immediate memory, with no recall! That is was below average!
Still waiting on my decision !!
My diagnosis is , PN , I had stage 2b cervial cancer. I also suffer from anxiety and depression.

I don't think we can speculate about or justify a decision in your case that has not been made.
Many people who have medical problems are capable of doing other work than they did before. The list is almost endless. A former longshoreman could become an elevator operator. A former surgeon could work as a receptionist.
Probably shouldn't anticipate the worst case scenerio.
