Hi All, Been recieving SSDI for about 6 years.

I DID write extra papers and my doctor even wrote SSD a 4 page letter telling them why I cannot work any longer. Still, I have been denied twice already. It is very frustrating, to say the least.

One thing I did learn is that it is not necessarily what illnesses you have, but it is what they do to you that makes you not able to work. For instance, with me, I am unable to sit for longer than 15 minutes at a time in a 2-3 hr period behind a desk, as my neuropathy gets worse. I also cannot stand for more than around 20 minutes in a 2 hour range or walk any longer than 1/2 block. I am no longer able to concentrate or focus, I make a lot of mistakes like with balancing the checkbook, that sort of thing, that used to come naturally for me.
