Krissy:
I have access to a tape that might help you. I run a large MS support group online and we have tapes/cds done by a former Social Security Judge in our lending library. It was taped from a seminar he did for the National MS Society chapter here in Arizona. If you want to borrow please email me and give me your address. There are certain ways you need to answer the questions on the application and the judge tells how line by line.
I used that tape and was approved the first time and over the phone. I would be glad to help you with the tape or with any advice!

Well, got my decision back from SS, and they of course have declined it. (I WILL appeal) they said:
that 1) it was not disabling on any date thru 6/30/05 (it struck me 5/21/05..and on 6/30 I was just out of the hosp barely moving in a wheelchair)
2) they said that because of treatment my condition improved and that I am capable of sedentary work with further improvement expected. (I should be able to stand/walk up to 6 hours a day they said...both of which I CANNOT do.)
I will talk to my neuro when I see him in aug and perhaps call my rehab dr as well.
