[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 470490"] What Janet said is what I have heard as well. Especially if you have concerns that you might not win or it might take a long time, going with one of these attorneys is probably a very good idea (after trying first on your own.) They take a percentage of the back pay and I understand they almost always (ALWAYS) win...you might ask them what percentages of cases like these they win, etc. and the first time (perhaps all the times) you meet with them is likely free. Our difficult child had two clear cut medical situations and she was approved first go around without an attorney. We were told by EVERYONE that this happens perhaps one in a million applications. It is very very rare. We had over ten years of documentation and her doctors sent letters. We were told that people with advanced cancer are often turned down. Anyway, I am very VERY grateful. I have seen on other websites and heard from others that although it can be a little hard (especially at first), appeals are often won eventually and with a good attorney, it is VERY VERY likely that an applicatant with a legimate medical condition will win. If you feel strongly about this (and I know you do), hang in there. Those receiving disability can still work up to a certain amount per month, etc. It is very helpful all around. [/QUOTE]
