My husband have been disabled since Feb of 2010 at the age of 36 from a severe stroke affecting his whole right side. Because he was so young we had gotten a lot of denial letters. It was very heartbreaking to see my husband get so excited to see the SSD letters, hoping that this letter will be the approval letter to only be denied and go into a major depression.
We actually reached out to Danielle after his 2nd denial letter in the beginning of 2016 but was told to appeal on our own and if he got denied again then to come back. We were a bit irritated and discouraged that she didnt try to help us because we really needed the financial help because we had 4 young children in school. Albeit, we did do as she said and had to wait another few years to get more denial letters.
We actually went through 2 more years of receiving denial letters when we went back to Danielle around Sept of 2017 for help and this time she took our case.
The appeal process was very long. For Hawai'i it takes about 15-18 months to actually see the judge! To make the story shorter, April of this year, 2019, we finally won our case! Danielle was A HUGE help! As much as people have complained and said she is unprofessional...she is NOT! She is the most kindest, caring, and very knowledgable in Social Security issues. She works with you in getting all documents as well as advising what path we needed to take before my husband's hearing! Before my husband even went in to see the judge, she pulled us aside and told us the judge will be granting him EVERYTHING!
For those of you who did get turned down the first time, be patient and dont feel discouraged...HEED HER ADVICE...she knows what she is doing! In the end you will come out the winner!!!
Thank you again SO SO SOOOO MUCH Danielle!!!
Aloha
