    Mental stuff needs an in-person evaluation. I know ADHD isn’t necessarily this bad but stuff like PTSD, severe depression, and Bi-Polar absolutely suffer from the same problem. The system is set up to handle physical disabilities but not really mental ones.

      Not having met me hasn’t stopped them from denying me twice.

        Yeah, the system is fucked. You basically need to be paraplegic to get anything or be unlucky enough to have a specifically listed condition.
