Remember that they did not have the info about the most recent hospitalization. Get a copy of the listings and give them to your doctors. One of the challenging things about your case is that you have a psychiatric and a physical impairment. So doctors in those specialties are going to be reluctant to comment on the other disability. But if each will write a letter, not just send in the medical reports that will really help.

Good luck to you. And if you get denied on recon, don't be surprised 95 percent get denied at that stage, but it's a much lower percentage at the hearing stage. If you are denied on recon, you should absolutely get a lawyer.
