  2. I was lucky when I applied for disability. I was hospitalized 4 times the previous year and the doctor had prescribed oxygen for me 24/7. It took two weeks to get approved. It took a year to get the appointment for the disability determination, but once they had the information, it only took two weeks.

    1. I'm glad it went so smoothly for you. I am baffled sometimes by the claims they deny. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
