I have some hopeful news for you. My husband and I hired a lawyer to get his disability approved after 2 denials. While waiting for our court date, our file was randomly pulled and approved! We should not have had a court date until later this year, but ended up getting approved in April. Watch your mail while waiting because they are doing this randomly to get some of the back-log taken care of. I wish you luck, I know how long this process be
