I know this is now 2 years later. Did you apply for disability? I did in Feb 2022 and finally after 2 denials, I had a phone meeting with a judge plus I had a lawyer (25% or 6000max). I guess I passed because they gave me 100% disability. It was the best thing I could have asked for because I was receiving early retirement benefits (18 months before full retirement). I fought for the disability because the difference was about $400/month. If you filed for disability and haven'y received any compensation yet. Keep on fighting!!! Especially if you are the caregiver for a special needs child. You should be receiving something for that, I hope!!! Hope you are pain free or getting there!!!

You are amazing at follow-up! 😉

Yes, I did apply for disability and was approved for me and my minor son. Thank you for checking in with me. I could not do it without disability since I need medical coverage for both of us and being a single parent with no help. I have had 6 surgeries in the last 4 years and anticipate more (still dealing with chronic pain in cervical and lumbar spine and it is hard to do much).

Hope you are well.
