A:
It sounds like you are going through a very challenging time. Dealing with multiple health issues and a denied SSDI claim must be incredibly frustrating. First, it's important to gather all the documentation related to your medical conditions and any communication with the SSDI office.
Reach out to your doctor or healthcare provider to ensure they can provide updated medical records that support your claim. You may also want to check with the SSDI office to confirm what specific documents they need and the deadlines for submitting them.
Consider contacting a local advocacy group or legal aid service that helps with SSDI appeals. They can offer guidance and support throughout the process, ensuring you have all the necessary paperwork and evidence. Remember, persistence is key, and seeking help can make a significant difference.
