Lynette,

I got my disability on the first try....but please know...I didn't

get it for fibro....I got it for irreversable labrynthine

dysfunction, vertigo and depression. Basically what that means is

that I " spin " all the time and they don't know why and I became very

depressed over it and wanted to die for a very long time. (sometimes

I still feel that way, but I'm trying hard to stay on this earth) My

vertigo came on suddenly the end of May 2002...I applied the first

week of June 2002 and was approved in October of 2002. There is a

mandatory 5 month waiting period. They did find that I became

disabled in May...but I was not eligible for payment until October

because of the 5 month waiting period.

The best advice I can give to anyone applying is: jump through all

their hoops in the way that they ask, stand tough and NEVER give up

or back down. They deliberately try to make it as difficult and

humiliating on you as they can so you will give up. DON'T GIVE UP.

Blessings,

Pixi
