Social security?
I am in the reconsideration stage of my claim for social security this time My doctor wrote out a statement for me to submit stating I am unable to participate or work at all and, she also added comments on why My condition is disabling
I know social security only approve about 20% in the reconsideration stage could I be one of those this time?

The is absolutely no rhyme or reason with them, so don't get your hopes up for approval even on the second time. My advice is to hire an advocate or a lawyer who specializes in disability.
In today's SS benefit hearings that are held, may cases are rejected because people go to work being paraplegics and they work with special equipment. It you are not that ill, the chances are very slim your case will not be approved.
Yes, you could be. Many times you may have to stay on this. They may think if you really not need it you will give up. But, if you continue to pursue this, in time, you may get approved.
When my dad (He gone now), started having heart attacks, he did try to keep working. But, in time the Doctor said he needed to quit, after another heart attack on the job. But, it took a Lawyer, before he ever got approved and the Lawyer got 1/2 of his back pay.
We always figured he would have been better never trying to go back to work. Once he did go back, we figured they thought he could keep working until he died on the job.
This process is very long and frustrating. But is also bogged down with people trying to get SSD with carpal tunnel, etc.
It really doesn't help to get a note from your doctor for they determine what is disabling, etc.
Once you get rejected at the 2nd time, you will be given an administrative judge hearing.
I highly recommend hiring a lawyer that handles SS cases.
I got mine in about 9 months but I had intubated two times in one month and many other serious and life threatening problems.
My son has applied since 2004 and rejected. Got a letter saying he was going to be set for an administrative hearing with no date or time whatsoever. I called SS to see where his file is and it sits in hearings that is backed up 12 to 20 months. He is about to lose everything he owns awaiting this.
Good luck!!
