Lupus Sufferer Approved For Social Security Disability In Just 5 Months – Learn How!

Hi

I get so excited when I hear disability approval success stories like this one from Dorothea McClinton that I get up from my computer and do my (soon to be famous) DISABILITY APPROVAL VICTORY DANCE! 🙂

——–Here’s Dorothea’s Story—————————
Hi Brian,

Just wanted to thanks for all the helpful information. It helped me tremendously. I applied for Social Security Disability back in January 2008 for the very first time. Yesterday, Monday June 23rd, I received my award letter…

I was approved, without hiring an attorney. I was hesitant about filing because I was discouraged by all the information I read about most people being denied the first time.

After I read through the info you had been sending, I filed. I had an hour long phone interview in February. They had me see one of their doctors in May, and got the approval letter in June. My benefits are effective as of January 2007 because I was found disabled under their rules as of March
2006 due Lupus SLE.

I am so grateful for the information that you put together. Once again, thank you very much.
