> Shelli,
> Thanks for the info. I didn't know they re-evaluated you, but it makes sense. Do you know of anyone who has been successful getting SSDI? - Barbarais SSDI, social security, disability? If it is, I got it on my first appeal, but that was a long time ago. I did't even get an attorney--I just wrote them a pathetic letter how hard it was for me to be alive, how did they expect me to work? It's hard to believe I got it. But I think they make it so you almost have to fail on your first try. I think it's only on your second try that they actually send all the forms to your doctors.
I actually know a lot of people who got it on their first try because they had DID, dissociative identity disorder and several hospitalizatons. I think it might be hard without hospitalizations.
