Barbara, if you haven' already, you have to get a SSDI law firm or advocacy firm working for you. If you have PD and can't get SSDI, you haven't written the right words. That's what I hear. There's a firm in Chicago that operates nationally 2 friends of mind used. It took a long time but they got it all paid in arrears, and the firm only gets paid on contingency. Let me know if you want the phone #. Bruce A.
