Got it

[clevermanka]

I've been approved for disability.

Have progressed from disbelief to shaking/crying to numb in record time and expect to alternate between those states for the rest of the day.

I don't know how much I'll be awarded or when to expect the first payment, but that's okay. Just knowing I've been approved for some amount is such an incredible relief.

Thank you to everyone who supported me (emotionally, financially, whateverly) through this excruciating process.

Sending good thoughts to tide you over until the first deposit hits.

I'm so glad! The bureaucracy is so horrible. I'm glad you got through it.

[clevermanka]

Yes on all counts, thank you.

[goss]

\o/ So very happy you got the approval! *BIG HUGS*

[clevermanka]

Such a relief, thank you!

YESSSSS!!!!!! So, so damn glad for you, my friend. What a bullshit ride you had to take to get here, but you did it. I hope all of the stress and anxiety will start to recede as this fantastic news sinks in, and that you won't have to wait too long to see the money come in.

[clevermanka]

I explained to someone else that my body doesn't know how to feel relief, yet. It's probably gonna take a couple days to process the belief that this is really happening.

And yes, fingers crossed that first check comes soon.

Considering all that you've been through- in recent years and beyond- I'm not surprised. HUGS

[libitina]

That's such a relief!

And you worked hard to get through all the paperwork and phone calls.

[clevermanka]

Thank dogs for disability lawyers. No way I could have gotten through this on my own.

[umadoshi]

I'm SO GLAD (as you know), and I really hope the first payment arrives soon, and that they've also decided to give you as much as possible.

[clevermanka]

Yes please on both. I would rather not have to make a GoFundMe just to get through the last couple months before the first check arrives.

Omg, congrats and kudos! I'm just doing a little dw archaeology, digging around and seeing what I've missed, and -- YAY. Getting approved is a hell of a process, but you did it! Again, yay!!

Re: Congratulations

[clevermanka]

I was fortunate to be in a position where I could afford to stay stubborn!

[subtlegrey]
