What if SSA discourages me from applying or appealing?

Of the people who apply for SSD, over 50% are turned down (from SSA stats). Fewer than 50% of those are turned down appeal. Of those who appeal, over generally 50% are accepted disabled. You should not be discouraged by an SSA representative from filing. You should not necessarily believe them when they tell you that you are not disabled.
