Has anyone else applied and received SSDI? I just applied due to being disabled but I am scared that I will not get it. Any tips?

I applied for temporary disability for a HUGE a flare of fibromyalgia, small fiber peripheral neuropathy, and OA that had me quit my dream job. I was granted it but I was advised to do that because it is easier to get temporary than permanent. It is possible though, just never tried it myself

You more then likely get denied at first. Your best bet is to get a lawyer. It Depends on where you live they can take a hefty portion of your settlement. Just keep that in mind. I wish you the best in your process. 🤗
