It is true that nearly everyone is denied on the first application (this has been the case, in my experience for more than 25 years). The only people who receive it on the first try are people who have the prognosis of dying within 12 months. I have spoken to a law group that specializes in SSDI claims and we have sent in the first application. Now we sit and wait for the denial.

Thank you for your post and your expertise. I was hesitant to post our (my daughter's and my experience) because it was an N of 1. Too bad this is happening generally, i.e., being denied categorically on the first application, but it is helpful to know that the denial is almost guaranteed, and that one needs to be persistent and appeal.
