I was just "officially" denied SSI benefits after 4 years of fighting. I applied in 2014 and was denied twice before going before a judge in December 2016 and was denied in July 2017, my lawyer was shocked (even the State's Occupational Person, I can't remember her official title, said it would be impossible for me to hold down a job...even the two the judge suggested, an envelope stuffed or a garment stuffer because of the lights, noise and the fact that I would probably call out so often) and challenged his decision to a 3 panel group of judges. They denied me just a few days ago..... January 15 2018. My question, has anyone been denied by a judge, reapplied and won their case? I did find out my lawyer didn't submit some paperwork on time and the judge refused to admit it into evidence, so I don't know if that had a large bearing on his decision. I'm crushed and totally frustrated. My migraines continue to worsen and now I have to start all over. Does anyone have any helpful suggestions or information for me? Another 4 years just may send me over the edge.
Thanks,
Dana
