Tell me about it it took me almost 5 years to get mine the only saving grace was they had to pay me from the day I filled all the way up to the day I was finally approved I live in Maryland I don't know if it would be different if you live in another State I hope this gives you some hope and Good luck if you need to talk about it you can message me

Getting on disability shouldn't be this difficult and they need to improve the benefits.

I know this feeling all too well, it felt like an eternity before mine finally came through. It took a second try with a disability lawyer to get everything settled. Hope everything comes around for you soon 🙏
