Anyone currently getting disability benefits in the US with advice to offer? I’m considering applying, but am anxious about the process

      I'm also considering applying for disability (for CFS) and was also hoping for some advice. I know the outlook isn't great especially since I'm planning on getting married to someone who is also disabled but not currently on disability either but I'm pretty desperate for some kind of income

      I was just denied for the millionth time so I'm getting a different lawyer and I'm going to appeal.

Some advice from those who have gone through the process includes getting a lawyer to help with the application, providing plenty of medical documentation and proof of your disability, and being prepared for potential denials and appeals. It's important to be honest about your condition and describe how you are on your worst days during any interviews or appointments.
