or start over. I explained I was out of head with pain and the woman who called said she would help me. She walked me through the questions, filled it in probably better than I would, and got the contact info for who needed to be contacted and voila - approved.

I wouldn't recommend months of hospital time or renal psychosis to anyone, but... if there is some way to get one of Social Security employees to help with the application, maybe asking what they need to know or how to answer a question, that seems the best way to apply.
