I need some insight into the ugly belly that is SSD appeals. As it stands, even the VA sees that I am not able to return to work without significant retraining and that is if my medical condition improves so I won't be able to work for at least a year or two. Voc Rehab is looking closer to 3 or 4 years. I have a bachelor's that is a paper weight. BS in psychology from University of Phoenix.
