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.

I would also recommend that you hire an SSDI attorney after the first denial. They, as required by federal law, take the case on contingency, meaning they get nothing if they don't win the case. If they do win the case, they cannot take anymore than 25%, if I remember right, of the back pay awarded. They have no claim on benefits going forward.
