What 52 Years of Disability Law Teaches About Getting Approved

This Social Security Disability Success Story Just in from Michael Mazzoni.  His advise is follow the Disability Digest Mini Course and make copies of everything.

—– Here is Michael’s whole success story
Brian let em’ know that by following what you outlined, I obtained my disability in 6 months.

One small step for mankind.  I want to thank you for all the info you have been sending. It helped and I got approved on the 1st try in Michigan. There is nothing easy about the whole process, but all the Disability Digest Lessons and videos I listen to from you helped.

I was found disabled due to Crohn’s and disease related depression (which I had to go see a Social Security examiner). The next step is coming up to got opened up and have a tumor biopsied, the doctors feel it may be cancer, but I am hoping it is benign.

This approval time even included my move , transfer of documents of Social Security Disability documents from Nevada to Michigan, and every mess up Social Security made.  I did this by myself (with your help of course) and it happened.

Keep sending updates as I still enjoy reading and listening to them.

Thanks again,  Michael

If you’re exhausted from explaining your condition over and over again, you’re not alone. Many Social Security disability applicants — and even people already receiving SSDI or SSI — feel stuck in this frustrating loop: You say you’re struggling. Your doctor writes “stable” or “doing fine.” Social Security reads the record and assumes you can function. And you’re left wondering ...

Diagnosis Isn’t  What Gets and Keeps Disability Benefit
