        Been through it twice for a seizure condition that does not end. People that don't understand your condition make the decision.

        Average rate, from my experience is closer to 36 months. It's a disgrace, when people have piles of medical documentation & bills. @POTUS 🤔pic.twitter.com/BPm3WGXSAw

        What's amazing is how so many here thinks they know "the truth". Your experience doesn't constitute the reality for everyone.

        That's not true. Get the first answer in 3-4 months. Appeal (reconsideration)is usually 2-3 months, and if it goes to court, may be 2 years.
