I am in AWE! I received a call from CPP-Disability office about 40 mins ago, this Brigette girl says she is from the medical review office and has approved me for full disabilty benefits. She said I will receive a letter of entitlement in about 2 weeks with all the details and my first payment will come in about 2 months. I am so overwhelmed I'm shaking! Who would of thought the government worked on Saturdays, YAHOO!

That's GREAT Bunz!! i would never have thought they worked on Saturday either!! Gosh, that's wonderful news. Now you can breathe easier, huh? I'm sure it's been a long haul for you, and I'm glad it's over.
Congrats to you! God bless. Hugs, Lee

It has been a long 2yrs, but it only took 3 months to get approved, that was unbelieveable(I had heard at least 6 months and then possibility of being denied on frist app, then appeals), it has taken the load off stress wise, but we will always live with pain from h***! I just don't have to worry about the monetary issues, thanks again Lee, Bunz
