Keep trying. They are just hoping you will give up and go away (figuratively speaking!), but when they do award it to you they should have to pay from when you first applied. God bless.[/quote]
YES! We went through the entire appeals process for my son, it took 2 years! The first worker was considered one of the top workers in our local office. His denial rate was 97%! That was one of the top criteria for workers, to have a very high denial rate. They kept denying for really dumb reasons: one reason that a dr. didn't think 10-30 siezures per day would affect a 10 year old's life. oh my. So keep appealing. See if you can get the actual rating from SS: the criteria are spelled out for each condition. There are lawyers who can help you with this, who get paid after the award, from the award. And you get all the money from when you 1st applied. Don't give up. I have an outlet for everything you can produce, pm me for more info if you like.
