Guest guest Posted May 5, 2002 Report Share Posted May 5, 2002 Hi when i applied i put down that i also have panic anxiety attacks...They sent me to a shrink to be evaluated...luckily i put this down because,that is what got me approved,not the constant pain from the FM..They would have never approved it just on that(my intake worker had told me that)..Also make sure they know that this interferes with your life too,not just work,,Like going to church,grocery shopping,socializing..i put everything down,,including how on some days i can't even pick up a frying pan to make a burger for myself..They seem to like to hear aboout these things too,not just the fact that you can't work...i also got my congressman involved in my case..they have workers that will look into these things for you...Amazingly i got approved the first time trying,,it took about 7 months altogether from the first phone appt..I never went to any of there (soc.sec.)offices,,it was all done over the phone except for the shrink visit,,which they paid for...hope some of this helps..Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
