I am with you Bret. My heart goes out to you. I have been trying to get on disability since 2009. What a joke. I am bedridden. I don't understand how they can deny me. Well good news- I have what looks like a brain tumor on MRI. Maybe this will be enough for them. So frustrated. So hard to deal with social security with a brain injury and chronic pain. If anyone knows the answer to this question it would help me- when can you hire a lawyer? Do you have to be denied once on a new claim? I had a lawyer after being denied twice and was denied again at ALJ level. My lawyer dropped me. Said he does not do appeals after ALJ. So I started a new claim. If I am denied then can I get a lawyer? I will most likely kill myself if denied again so I guess it doesn't matter

I don't know how you are managing. I "only" have 2, but they are teenagers and I have spent more than that just feeding them for the week, nevermind housing, clothing, etc

I am lucky my husband has an income too, but we still struggle. Not to mention teenagers who want all this name brand stuff that costs so much and they just don't care what parents go through they think we have magic to make things happen. I am just hoping everything works out and that the truth will be enough.

You can get a non attorney rep. I did that, and you can do it at any time. They collect NO money until they win your case. Do it, You must be able to get that disability claim going. I am in your corner. ginnie
