Once you get turned down the first time, try calling your US congressman's office and ask them to intervene.

I got a lawyer to handle mine and I recommend it. There is a ton of complex paperwork and unless you know what you are doing, you will probably make some mistakes. Those mistakes will case you to get rejected. A lawyer that specializes in SSDI will fill out all of the paperwork correctly. The lawyer gets something like $5,000 out of your first check which will be pretty large. Mine was around $25,000.
Thats not true I got it the first time doing it on line,no lawyer.And i`am far from a vegetable
