YES IT WILL!

You are now ahead of the game. I did the exact same thing. I also did research at my local library regarding SSDI in my state (backlogs, what to expect, etc.).
Completing all the paperwork was not overwhelming in my case because when I was in the rat race, it was one of my job duties.
I also did not hire an attorney until my ALJ hearing. Basically, since I did all the work, all the atty had to do was to complete some forms from the State plus show up for the hearing. At that time, I did not feel that was worth $5600. So after I received my final approval letter................
I wrote a letter to SSD w/backup documentation to prove the above. Apparently, they agreed w/me. I only had to pay my atty, OOP expenses which was a little over $250.



GOOD LUCK!
