denial appeals. It was absolutely fascinating.

For one thing, most people haven't a clue what it takes to get approved for SSDI. Not easy. You need many volume of copies of medical reports. Volumes and volumes. I actually spent most of my time working for this attorney at the Social Security Office photocopying people's Social Security records.

And it takes very specific disabilities, and proof of the disability.

So, sadly, if you're turned down, you really aren't disabled. Sorry.
