and after you get rejected is the time to get it. Pretty much everyone gets rejected. The attorney gets paid later, I think via the lump sum you will hopefully get. The attorney knows how to navigate the process, there is not a good chance of getting in on your own though a few people do, I have heard it's very hard. Chronic pain is one of those "subjective" things that are hard to get it for. You need to prove why you can't work, not just prove you are sick or in pain. So you have to write things like "I can't get out of bed because of the pain" not just "I'm in pain."
Being over 50 helps you get it.
