I don't know about anyone else, but I am getting sick of fighting the government for my son's SSI. Julie, you have been extremely helpful with all of this. They declared him presumptively disabled, then came back and said he was denied. They also denied his first appeal. I am in the process of appealing again, but it seems like they want so much that I am in over my head. Any help would be appreciated. Maybe an attorney is the way to go? Any ideas or suggestions?
