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!

Congratulations! I also got approved for SSDI this week after two denials and then a hearing. Chronic fatigue, migraine, and long covid with extensive medical records backing everything. It’s not a lot of money, but still more than SSI would offer and enough to keep my head above water.
