tell me your experiences trying to qualify for SSDI or SSI

11. I just finished with my reassessment for disability.

Never had a lawyer though I heard it's better to have one. I originally applied back in the summer of 2004. I finally got approved I'd guess you could say in December of 2004. I saw 2 doctors, one for a mental health examine, the other for a physical exam. The whole process started at my local social security office.

My advice would be to do everything they say. Save every piece of paper they give or mail you. When you do your exams, be completely honest and tell them EVERYTHING, I can't stress that enough. Even if you don't think the smallest symptom has anything to do with your disability, tell them anyway.

Good luck
