3. I was a Social Security Disability adjudicator for over 10 years

As a former nurse who suffered a back injury, it started out being my perfect job. I got to use my medical training without heavy lifting or spending hours on my feet. I loved helping people, but after more than a decade I burnt out. As a senior examiner I was given child SSI review work for children mostly in the foster care system. I still cannot forget the stacks of medical records which contained the life stories of severe abuse and neglect. After I left my job, I took nearly a year off work to heal.

If I can help you with your SSDI claim in any way, please feel free to send me a DU Mail. I know how stressful the process can be and am praying you will be successful and stay strong.
