My brother has MS, was denied on his first application and is in his appeal stage. It's been almost 2 1/2 years from the start of this process, and he has been left without insurance and any source if income. I live 1200 miles away and can't offer much support other than researching topics for him online due to loss of his own vision and his mobility impairment makes it difficult for my parents (in their 70s) to get him out of the house.
Questions: Is working with an advocacy group more helpful for submitting applications and appeals for ssdi than heading to a local social security administration building (which is close to his residence)?
Is there anything I can do to help him that the advocates can't handle already?
