After years of paralegal stuff it was pretty straightforward for me. I’ve gotten a good bit of hate from other people that haven’t fared as well. I’ve offered to help with filling out forms but it’s hard not to cross the “I’m not a lawyer”. Just telling you where you have to sign and what supporting documents you need. Thanks for all you’re doing to help people. It’s hard enough being disabled without and shame and rejection.

A friend who was terminally ill and completely unable to work was denied about the same time I got accepted. She was later granted disability after two appeals. I was completely confused by this. Seems I was just better at filling out paper work.

I have legal experience but not in this field. I was approved first application, without a problem. I’m confused as to people who are obliviously disabled are being denied? I had a year long wait but other than that the process was simple for me. Was I just lucky?

I have cold urticaria also! I was born in Upper Michigan and suffered horribly for my life until I moved to California. I have had mine turn to anaphylaxis if my hands get too cold. It’s hard for people to get that I’m seriously allergic to cold. Everyone thinks it’s a joke.

I get the same shit about my ferrets. I’m always so snarky. “Almost like they are ALIVE and have FEELINGS” actually my horse vet loves them and has taken over their basic care.
