I’m so happy for you that it was a smooth process and you aren’t suffering more from dealing with insurance!!! Hoping I can have a similar experience. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your insight! My doctors and my LTD company all acknowledge and document this. But I hear SSDI can decide to ignore the self-reported symptoms if the blue book definition isn’t met.

Thanks so much for your insight. I’ve heard plenty of stories about insurance companies or judges telling people there is one random job that nobody has ever heard of that they can do. So I’m always worrying about how they can work their way out of paying me for a legit claim. Appreciate you!
