Hi, Karen, We, too, had to fight like hell to get John's disability approved. It took several months of continuous phone calls, forms, letters from his Docs, etc. but I got it done. You have to be #1. persistant, #2. get to the top person making the decisions, #3. educated that person as to what your Dad is going through. There were times I was very graphic with our contact about John's physical condition and I finally got her attention. {plus the Doc's letters were a great help] Good luck and keep pushing- I think you can get it done.
