COPD is another problem I have but it is not to the point that I had to quit work because of it. But that is the only thing SSA made their denial decision on according to my lawyer. They didn't even look at everything else which was plainly stated on my claim form. They didn't get medical records on anything but the COPD. Every thing medically wrong with me is treated at one VA hospital where thay got the records for the COPD. My question is; why did they ignore the problems that qualify me for disability and only go with the one that does not qualify?

Thanks, rlj1959
