Hi,
I found a site that's a great resource for people who have been denied in their initial claim and have appealed the denial. It has info I haven't seen anywhere else and it's worth taking a look at. Lots of tips that I haven't seen anywhere else, it's a real resource of great use to those who are at the appeal step of the process. The site is Disabilityappeal.com.
They have suggestions on there that even some lawyers don't have any idea about, that can win you a new case or throw out the old one.
