  1. Congrats Hun I'm still waiting best of luck with everything
  2. Okay so I called today to make sure the person handling my case faxed over whatever they claim to be missing. The insurance told me they received it and that my case is pending and it can take up to 14 days my things were originally send on the 8th of sept so hopefully soon or on the 24th of sept I'll hear some news the waiting game is so annoying but nothing worth having comes easy in life I started my journey this year and I'm staying positive
  3. My info was sent to the insurance company on sept 8th and I've been waiting. I decided to call today to see if I can get some info from the insurance company. They told me they're waiting for my case worker to send them 2 things that are missing and they need it before sept 16th by 12 noon. I called my case worker she said she got the info and to not worry that she will take care of it. I'm so scared to get denied and I hate the waiting game. Has everyone every experience this? How long do they usually take to approve?
