Wow, thank you both for your responses. The same day I posted the message I went and had my mental evaluation at their clinic done. It only took 3 reschedules to get that one done. Fortunately the physical and mental are now done. I did actually remember to ask the people in the office how much longer they though I'd need to wait. THe doctor couldn't give me any info, but the people working in the clinic told me that after you have an appointment there, the doctors have 7 days to respond with a report to your case worker. I was informed that after you get the mental/physical appointments finished and the report(s) are submitted, then within approx 2 -3 weeks I'll hear a response one way or another from the case worker.

The great thing for me is that I've had packets of info sent out to me, and my doctors were asked to submit all records and both of my pain and psychologist are in total agreement that at this point in time I'm not able to work, but that may change a minimum of 12 months from now.

So everyone is on my side as far as doctors etc, it's just a matter of everything coming together on the states end so they can make a decision and let me know.

Thanks for the info. I know that my stepmom got denied the first time and I've had other friends/relatives get denied over 4 times too.

I'm just going to keep my fingers crossed. I seriously don't know how some people in worse situations than myself make it... I just want this sit and wait nightmare to be over with! Thanks again!

:)
