Very informative! Indeed these are things I need to know!
I can certainly see that this will be a process......and now I see all the more how important it is to have a good legal advocate. Especially in chronic conditions......
When IS the 'starting point', quite literally! (as in 'onset') wow.

I really appreciate you explaining this to me because I'm certain I would NOT have known any of this terminology or insight, which would have made it all the more confusing and stressful. I've got alot to digest.

Thanks again!

Rrae when you get your paperwork to fill out from SS or if you fill it out online, remember its not just the disease that you have thats important, its vital in answering those questions in how the symptoms of that disease prevent you from working. how it affects your ability in whatever areas apply to you, sitting, standing, bending, kneeling twisting, climbing, walking, fatigue,inability to concentrate, how medication you take affects you and your ability to work, again concentration, fatigue, need to take naps etc.

Good advice echoes.

So, details are the key! Noted!
Thank you for this! Very much appreciated!
