On top of everything else we have to worry about getting denied just makes everything worse having to worry about making ends meet. Apparently it's very common to be denied your first time. I'm so sorry I know this sucks 💪🧡

Yes. 1st time denied. Reconsideration (2 time) denied. Now i’m filing an appeal (3rd try). Ive done everything on my own utill this point. Got a lawyer for the hearing (appeal). This process has been going on since last september. My advice: keep track of all correspondence including mailing envelopes for dates. Write a running list of dates and names of who and when u made any contact. Get letters from your doctors supporting you. Good luck
