Prepare to be rejected at least one time.  Just have your doctor
resubmit everything if that happens.  They are notoriously slow when
processing a claim.  My wife Jeanne was lucky in that she was able to
get a full disability on her first try.  She had two good doctors and
she applied for her disability because of MS and depression combined
with cognitive problems.  Even so it took quite a while.  Good luck
you do have my sympathy.  I hope that you get it on your first try.
Frank.
