Help

I have been diagnosed with schizoaffective bipolar disorder since January 2020, and I have been applying for disability benefits, but I keep getting denied. I have a hearing with a judge coming up, and I’m feeling overwhelmed and scared.

I’m struggling financially, emotionally, and physically. I have no income and I’m worried that I may become homeless. I’ve tried working at least three different jobs, but because of my condition, I wasn’t able to maintain them.

For those who have successfully been approved for disability, what helped your case? Do you have any advice on preparing for the hearing or what I should expect? I would really appreciate any guidance or support. Thank you.
