Mine went through on first application.
I *Used* to be a line-haul bulk tanker yanker.
Got rear ended by a drunk one dark and windy night and while securing
the accident scene a guy in a Chevy 1500 nailed me. CHP report says
the guy was doing "about 60mph" when he hit me.
Came too in the middle of highway 99 and was able to belly crawl off
of concrete.
My angels were working double overtime that night!!!
4+ years later and still fighting with insurance company over proper
medical care.
I get less than $800/mo from SocSec.  Sucks to be me.  8^(
