Appeal--One member on here (Debbie Brown) was denied something like 5 times, but she didn't give up, and she got her surgery. It won't be handed to you easily, but it can be won if you have the desire to fight for it!! Best of luck!
Yes that was 5 times I was denied. The first thing to do is send in the form to request a state hearing. I don't know what your health problems are but if you want to email me and tell me what your situation is I could help with some suggestions. The most important thing is not to give up!
