Hi Anne...... The workers at Soc. Sec. kept trying to prepare me
for being turned down for benefits.  They told me that children
with spina bifida were being turned down and I should expect
nothing less since I was not as bad as they were physically.
Somehow I got it first shot.  I never questioned my getting it but
it felt like winning the lottery.  (guess I did).

Just hang in there and don't give up.  There are either one or two
reconsiderations and then court - in front of a judge - that is
where most cases are won.  Let us know as you are going along what
is happening.
