Re:for Shandi-Disability

Shandi,

I was just awarded Dis. in Florida in Feb after 2 years.

I was turned down twice by letter, then I appeared

before a judge in January.

My lawyer said my age (55) may have helped, but the

judge REALLY relied on my rheumatologist's notes for

the past 12 years, showing he & I had tried numerous

procedures to control the pain

If you have a particular question, drop me a note.

Hi Cj, ty for the uplifting news! Congrats on getting it, finally.

Sounds like an uphill battle, but worth it. Keep up the good work.
