Let’s face it, it easy to give in and become overwhelmed in the face of pain and negative circumstances. Almost everyone who applies for Social Security disability has daily pain and limitations in their daily activities. On top of it, Social Security specializes in denying most claims. You are discouraged already and then you are denied benefits. But if you do not continue to appeal the denials you know what the result will be.
Social Security disability is unique in that you can keep appealing and applying for benefits. In other types of cases you only get one shot along with potential appeals. If you are denied Social Security and lose at hearing you can reapply. Certainly, your back benefits will be affected and sometimes your insured status will run out, but you can continue to appeal and apply.
The point is that the Social Security disability process favors those who do not give up and give in.
I would be glad to discuss ideas for helping you through the long wait and whether you should continue the course.
