Got denied for the third time, then my doctor changed one thing on my form
So I've been fighting for disability in California for like 18 months now. Got denied twice without even a hearing. My lawyer said my doctor's notes were too vague, just saying I had back pain and depression. Then my primary care doc rewrote the whole thing after I asked him to be super specific. He wrote down exactly how many minutes I can stand before I need to sit, how many pounds I can lift (8 lbs max), and how often my anxiety kicks in at work (every 2 hours). Next claim went through in 6 weeks. Has anyone else had their doctor change the wording and suddenly get approved?

Bet it was just luck, not the wording change.

Oh, it's remarkable how often tiny wording changes make all the difference these days. It's like if something isn't spelled out in the exact right code or terms, the system just can't process it.
