Has any of your dx-partners been successful at getting disability due to their ADHD?

Question

I don't think I've ever seen this talked about on here before. My (f/40/ndx) fiancee (m/39/dx-combo) has applied for disability twice, but never followed up, so the case was closed before it even got the chance to get past the first step. He just reapplied again.

In the past 8 years, he's had probably 15 jobs; the longest lasting maybe a month or two. His ADHD is pretty severe and as a result, his time management/blindness is no joke. And we all know that this world isn't built for ADHD people necessarily, and at each job the time management primarily was why he would be fired.

I was just wondering if anybody has been successful in getting disability specifically for ADHD as it affects their life so badly that they cannot keep a job. I appreciate any comments. Thank you!
