7. Disability lawyers don't tell you what you need to know

These disability specialist on Instagram tell you the specific things you need to say and do, to convince a judge to give you the approval you are seeking. When you hire a disability lawyer, they don't tell you any of this.

Also, I find it odd that you are having to hire lawyers, because the way most disability lawyers work is that there is no fee unless you win your case. So you either hired the wrong type of lawyer, or they scammed you, because you should not have had to pay one dime when you lost your cases.

You haven't mentioned whether or not you called churches for assistance. They are not government agencies, and they will rarely turn you down (unless I think you are asking for cash to buy drugs, but most churches pay the utility company directly, to prevent that from happening).

You don't need to put miles on your car to get assistance from churches. I can't drive anymore, and I don't even own a car. You handle everything by phone, and the church pays the utility company remotely. No travel is involved.
