Congratulations on Catdancer obtaining disability! Did she get it on application or on appeal? If on appeal, how long did the appeal take? I had to wait 20 months for a 15-minute appeal hearing, though I did get some substantial "back pay" after being found disabled. Sigh. The safety net has very large holes in it.

It was on appeal, through a law office, and total process start to finish took about two years.

I am dealing with my second appeal and with a law office, and they're anticipating my hearing to be sometime in December, 2010, though they're trying to move that up. For me, if the pattern holds for December, I'll have been three years in the process.
