In a couple of weeks (Feb 2) I go before a judge (with an attorney) regarding my appeal for social security benefits for Parkinsons......I have been out of work now since May of '99.....this present appeal took 15 months to come to an actual hearing....is this normal? if I don't win this time I know there are a couple more appeals possible.....but what are my chances even then....? I am REALLY nervous about this.....any words of advice or encouragement would be greatly appreciated.
