That said both of the cases I mentioned met all the requirements and had a Dr.'s recommendation and were turned down until they got an attorney. One even with an SSDI attorney and with the reams of paperwork and was turned down the first two times. 'Course I'm in Texas and the social safety net is kinda' thin here. You know the attitude; pull yourself up by your bootstraps and all 'welfare recipients drive Cadillacs'. The epileptic case had to get a judge involved for God's sake.
