I believe from what I've read so far the amendments will help us get acknowledged as disabled easier then before.....and it also appears should take less time...SS right now is at least a 2 yr wait with most contesting a denial.

I recently applied for disability. My work is in process. I wonder if I'll be "grandfathered" in or have to go under the new changes?
