@rey also good to know:
if you don't have a lawyer, get one.
a good disability lawyer will not ask for any money down. they will work for a percentage of your "back pay" if/when you get declared disabled (e.g. it'll say "yeah ok, you've been disabled since x date to now, so we need to pay you a big lump sum as if we had been paying you benefits since x date").
don't be discouraged if you have to appeal. they reject EVERYONE at least once.

@rey honestly, they probably auto-reject applications without a lawyer's name on them. a good lawyer who can help you navigate the bullshit - or just persist through it - is, sadly, worth it as a necessity.
and DO persist!!! go all the way until you get a hearing in front of a judge. it is bullshit, yes, but you might as well start the process to get it cookin'. go fight the bastards for the benefits you're owed!
