Took just 3 month to get approved for CPPD

Just wanted to take a chance and thank David and team for great resources put here for people like me, and especially for written books and instructions on how to properly apply for CPPD.
I used all the help I could get to apply myself and after short wait of 3 month, I got approved.
Without this forum it would probably be a different result and most likely would go to Appeal.

Thank you greatly

I would assume certain cases get approved faster than others. I would assume mental illness cases can take the max time to get approved and the hardest to get approval for.

I have a skin disorder that effects my ability to walk sleep and live almost daily, i submitted photos with my first appeal… They approved me immediately…oh and i also had to get another letter from my other doctor who actually supported me…due to the first doctor who wasted my time by sending them a letter saying i could work in his opinion. :roll_eyes::roll_eyes:
Make sure u have a doctor to fully back you up! It made all the difference for me…i believe i would have been approved the first time if it wasint for that!!!

Good you pursued it and that you had a second doctor who was supportive.

That is great news Adam123. Congrats! I know that it took me forever to complete the forms and get specialist notes etc. I just got my denial letter and now I have to go through the stress of appealing. Wish me luck.

What was the reason for denial. Did you get a phone call from the medical adjudicator prior to receiving your letter in the mail?

@susanna2210 make sure you address the reason for the denial and why it should be overturned.
Good luck.
