If you want to talk to someone else before a lawyer, I am here to help out as well. Mark, my husband, and I fought for SSI/SSDI for 26/27 months before going to a hearing and getting approved. Some of the information I give out to others (because it worked SO great for us!) is available on this website, if you go back to the main page (upper L corner "click here to visit our main site") and then click on "julie's corner" but the excel spreadsheets and some other items haven't been posted yet and those are what really helped with our case-I can email those to you.
I have "advised/counseled" three others on this matter in the last year and they have all won their cases. Beth Sufian is a GREAT woman, don't get me wrong, I spoke to her a few times when Mark and I were fighting our case. But why pay a lawyer 25% of your backpay when someone will help for nothing? If you want to email, i'd be more than happy to help, <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="mailto:division902@hotmail.com">division902@hotmail.com</a>
