So, I got the call today that my paper work has been reviewed by my insurance company and they doctor/PCP/PA is starting the processing to send me over to social security.

So now to get everything started and then wait. Good thing is I do not lose my insurance until it runs out so.

I can’t remember how long it took me to get my ssdi it was so long ago (2007). But I got approved on the first try. Which apparently is pretty rare. I have a friend who has applied 3 times And gotten denied. Granted your case is a much more severe. Another one applied and got denied twice then had a stroke and got approved. So it just depends good luck on your process. Hope it goes fast.

That is what my insurance claim rep said. The thing for me is that I have already been on disability Short/Long for over a year. I am at 30+ doctor/hospital visits in 18 months and that is without counting Physical therapy.

My claim is complicated but I have enough wrong it is crazy and sadly doctors have not been able to fix what is wrong.

I cannot function without my medication. With the medication, I have more incontinence issues. The fact is that doctors feel that I will never be able to function without medication and I will need an ostomy sooner or later. Nothing has been done about the pain, and I am lucky when I can stand up for a full hour a day. After that my back hurts a lot. I can still get to the bathroom but I sit a lot.

The big thing is that I still have not seen a neurologist yet but that will happen.

My PT knows that I have a nerve issue in both my rectum as well as my lower abs.

Now it is just getting all the paperwork to one place and then seeing what they say.
