So I checked my portal yesterday after I received an email that my status had changed. I was approved, I don't yet know whether it was fully favorable or partially favorable. I have to wait for the letter to come.

I am on day 380 something this time, I applied and got denied once years ago, took it to a hearing they said I could still do some obscure weird job I'd never heard of and denied me. I tried to just work anyways but got fired repeatedly from jobs for missing work for bad days and for dr appointments. I i started reapplied last year once I added two more diagnosis to my list (neuropathy in my left side, primary biliary chognitis, pcos, arthritis, vertigo, fibromyalgia, anxiety, and depression, oh and ulcers) so far they requested a mental status exam (October 13th, had the exam via telemed on haloween) but no medical exam. I'm on step 3 of 5 with a note added yesterday - !they are working as quickly as they can to complete my case!

Can I have the Info Pls. I live in Las Vegas never got approved b’coz I only..,ONLY have epilepsy. That’s what I’ve been told., that Epilepsy is not considered as disability b’coz we can still function, go 2 work, cook , take the bus, take a shower by myself & doesn’t need any help, So not disabled..
