Normal
SSI/SSDI is hard to get to get it without problem is being lucky normally people get rejected the first time around. I work with people with disabiltiites and see the struggle. I have clients on my caseload with mental retardation or mental illness and getting their benefits a lawyer has been needed a lot of the time. Hang in there and go for it, if denied appeal and get a legal aide. By the way a hearing for an appeal can take up to a year and a half. Good luck.
