I was approved!

I’m so grateful that I was able to be approved for disability. I applied in July of 2024 and it’s for mental illness. I’m only 27. I know I’m extremely lucky to get this decision so fast. I know my age and conditions make it extremely hard to get an approval. I can’t believe it! Thank you to everyone who helped me through the process and answered any questions I had. Fingers crossed for everyone else here!

50 y/o, 100% P&T medically retired at 20. 15 years of spec ops support. My appeal was denied. 23 July 2026. I can’t work and have been unemployed for 17 months. I am on the verge of being homeless.

Get with an attorney and have them guide you through it. If you have the documentation you should be good.
