What 52 Years of Disability Law Teaches About Getting Approved

Learn How Missi used the FREE disability Mini Course to prepare to win  her Social Security Disability.

Hi Brian,
Your messages and the SSDI Mini Course have been helpful.. My diagnosed disability is Chronic pain and Major depression most days are very difficult.  I was so nervous about the hearing, went through some of your links about how to prepare for a hearing to see what it was all about I was still very nervous but at least had an idea of what to expect.

The Disability Digest was helpful from the beginning giving me an idea of the fight I was in for.  I happened on it after I was rejected, thought my mental health would not hold out. I was granted my SSDI after being rejected the first time with a total wait of 2 years (unable to work for 4 over years). At least now I can survive after working since I was 14 years of age and now being 50 years old. My name is Missi and I live in Arizona.

Thank you for sharing the information that you do…….Keep up the great work of assisting those of us who feel we have no where to turn, because we know most attorney’s don’t offer the support we need.

Sorry it has taken longer to respond, unable to do what I used to do….takes longer now…..

Thank you again, Missi Arizona,

Their limitations. We recently spoke with Attorney James Mitchell Brown, ...

What 52 Years of Disability Law Teaches About Getting Approved

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

If you depend on disability benefits, your income is at risk in 2025 and 2026. ➤ SSA is increasing medical reviews. ➤ COLA raises are small (2.5% in 2025, 2.7% projected in 2026) but Medicare premiums are climbing even faster (11.6% jump expected in 2026). ➤ Miss one notice or deadline, and you could lose months of benefits. The good ...
