> Hi:
> In my case, .... after non-approval on SSDI, my attending pdoc. advised me to go to Disability Agency(I just cannot remember the name for this, ..) and this place put me 'apptitude test' that lasted all day long, from my brain function(IQ) to hand/legs(manupulation) by using many different objects. My IQ got 'average,' although I did well in the school(both H.G. and more edu.at grade 3.52), ... guessing my Bp detoriated my brain function one and the other, especially those math problems. Anyway, ... they advised me to do some manual job for awhile until my condition would get stabilized, that I did consent, for both exercise and financial reason. Depression needs a good 'Blood Flow' into those chemicals of my brain.
> Afterwards, I made some progress by working as hard as I could. I have almost 'medical field' degree before Bp hit me a big time. Then, those form of work made me quite degraded, ... but a job is a job. Currently, I've been thinking about going back to school to accomplish my 'dream,' as I know the State could help me as being a Disability.

> In my suggestion, try to go the place, 'Disability agency' to get a job to which your condition is tolerable(NON-stressful job), because to be honest with you, at age 25 it might be pretty tough for you to get SSDI. However, if you go for an attorney, that also might be a good choice. All up to you.
> H.G.I plan on going all the way even if it means going to court. I will post up here when I do get it just in case any body wants to here but more because it will just feel good to tell people I got it. If I get truned down and have to get a attorney I will say that too.
