Hi, this blog makes me get a good feeling. I've never had any kind of support like this. No one I know understands what I go threw physically and as of late mentally. I'm working with a lawer right now. Of course I've been informed that it's going to take 2 years to get in front of a ajudicater. I'm going to start some free training courses that will fit my needs and get me a job. I don't know if I should just assume I'm not going to get disability. 7 to 8 years of trying.

Hi @davidinvegas

You are certainly being proactive. This is so important! You are your own best advocate!

It might be a good idea to keep working with the lawyer for the disability. When it is finally approved (when it comes before the adjudicator) you will probably get a very nice lump sum going back to when you first applied.

I'm also glad to hear of the training classes. If you are comfortable sharing more: what type of training are you receiving?
