When is it okay to claim disability?

Having other symptoms and illnesses documented or diagnosed helps. It's much easier if it's a mental health diagnosis and your seeking treatment....When filling out your paperwork (especially when having illnesses that have some days better and worse) make sure to fill it out based on your worst days. It's very rare to get approved with your first application just file for the appeal. This is stressful as it can take some time. I know it's hard but try not to feel guilty for applying for help. That's what it's there for, especially help that you paid into when you were healthier. Just like having to advocate for yourself at drs appts continue that on all other aspects noone knows you like yourself! ❤️ Good luck!

I hear u i’m in the same boat this is my 2nd roundabout with disability first time i got denied but i do have other diagnoses also. 1st time around i just had fibromyalgia and they told me if i was over 40 i could possibly get it but it depends how n who gets your case and what state u live in some states say yes u are mine doesn’t recognize fibro yet
