I hope it was pro bono, because those scumbag for-profit disability lawyers take out 25% of your disability check for your entire lifetime. I was lucky, and my brother's wife is a lawyer who did it for me, She went to Harvard Law and use to volunteer helping people with their disability claims.
Although I also had a doctor who never had anyone require an appeal before "the way I write them" he said, and I wound up not needing an appeal. 90% are denied the first go-around. Even without needing an appeal, it still took a year and a half or two years.
> You may want to make a decision quickly. It can take as long wait tyo get disability after aplying. I aplied 6 months ago and was denied. I just talked to a lawyer last week and he's going to help me repeal the decision. He said it could be an 18 month wait in all. Or you could posubly get a quick decision but thts doubtul. Depression isn't taken seriously as something like cancer.
