Hi Phillip, I applied for SSD in may of 2000, I was only 46 years old and my Lawyer told me that any one under 50 is almost always denied the first time and I was in 2001. When I went to Court a few months later in Sept of 2002 I won the maximum with medicare and was paid the arrears from when I filed in 2000, I was 49 then and am 55 now. I know there are new laws now concerning RSD and I believe its in your favor having RSD. That waiting time can be quite un nerving! I had more than RSD, I had a total of 23 different diagnosis...im a mess. What helped me the most was a report from my pain speciaist explaining that I would never be able to keep any kind of regular schedule and he gave a list of restrictions several pages long...both of my arms have had 7 nerve surgerys between them and #6 triggered RSD and #7 spread it.
