A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.
Rules
- Be excellent to each other
- Absolutely no ableism.
- No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
- No denying or minimising challenges faced by chronically ill people. This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.

If it's been 4 years since you applied, you may be looking at as much as $48K in back pay.
I don't have firsthand experience, but my understanding is that they cut you a check for the accumulated funds since your application date.
That matches my understanding and the experiences of people I've seen be successful with legal representation.
I also understand that both success and odds of back pay are greatly enhanced by having representation (Who takes a cut, you don't pay up front generally)
