Well, wouldn't you know, I got the determination letter in the mail today. Good ole government LOL.

I consider myself extremely lucky to have received my SSDI approval within 5 months of applying. I don't exactly know what was the deciding factor in their decision, but I'm sure as heck glad there was something there! I know I'm one of the lucky ones to have received it so quickly. I think a big part of it is because of my age....I'm 56, not to mention the grace of God.

Thanks all for your comments. And to all who are waiting longer than 5 months and battling tooth and nail for approval, you have my best wishes and prayers.

Congrats Seara !

It's difficult enough to deal with the challenges of being disabled. The stress of dealing with ssdi approval and financial worry can make things even worse.....I'm glad that's behind you. Now you can concentrate on taking care of yourself.
