I just received my 1st denial letter from ssi. Do you think I have a chance with sleep apnea,bi polar, personality disorder, panic attacks and I receive lots of meds for these conditions.

You have a chance with bipolar if you get a letter from your doctor to confirm you actually have it.

Can”t say if your wasting your time or not, however I do know that SSI ALWAYS denies you the first time around. Its procedural. My Father In Law suffered a massive stroke and through the process I found out that they always do that.

From what I have heard from asking questions myself re: filing for SSI/SSD you stand a good chance with your Bi Polar person. disorder and anxiety both are considered mental health issues. As long as you have documentation from your doctor or doctors to prove it. It also helps to gather as many documents as you can such as therapists, councelors, any tests you have had done go back as far as you can remeber. They also told me at the SS office to be sure and keep ALL appts they send you to and if you are denied to be sure and file for your appeal immediatley after you are denied do not wait. She said if you miss any of the appts they send you too that you will get denied. Good Luck Hope this helped.
