Episode Notes:  Link to grid rules

I have always believed that work history helps establish credibility.  Yesterday our judge said as much and approved a case with consistent, but not overwhelming medical records.

Question 1: After my wife received Short Term Disability for 5 months, I called my wife's plan administrator to get an update today. They told me her claim was denied as of 2 weeks ago. Had I not called we would not have known. She is unable to work due to seizures and depression. Her MD agrees. What recourse do we have?

Question 2: Mostly, I'd like to know if I could file a Disability Claim, with current prostate trouble? Also have Acute Arthritis in left and right hands, also have Hernia condition, and severe Stomach Ulcer problems as well. Just what can I file for? One of these or just a couple or all of the above? My prostate problems are bad enough to keep me from working at a regular rate of man hrs., due to frequent urinations, and cramping while in some positions, as well as Hernia Condition, that was deemed inoperable, due to severe cholesterol levels. Which also prevents me from working at any length, of endurance.
