two months ago I went into the Social Security office and filled out a ton of paperwork to apply for disability. Within a month of doing that I received a letter in the mail explaining that Crohn’s disease should not prevent me from being able to hold a job down. Every job I’ve had I’ve lost due to too many absences, surgeries and emergency room visits. Has anyone successfully gotten on disability and if so did you use a lawyer?
