Both times I had an attorney. Both times, they said take a hike. The first was a three year battle that ended with a hearing. The second time is now four years and counting. No hearing yet, but the situation is exactly the same as before. (The first was in a different state.) So, I am not holding my breath. This time around, they did say that I was disabled, but they also said that my husband earns too much to qualify. (By something like $400.) They will not budge. Now with the new administration, I am not seeing much hope for anything from anyone.
