the most beautiful posts that I have read. Naturally he is nervous. I am starting this OP so we can add our prayers, send good vibes and messages of encouragement for John to John's morning post. I know he is nervous. He has waited a long time for this. Keep strong John and may the results of your hearing be positive. PS, John did not ask me to write this. I am doing this so we can keep john in our positive thoughts., I will not respond as this is a thread for John .

1. A magic word for his case...

Insist that your health problems are CUMULATIVE, meaning they are a collection of ailments that have added up over time and now you are in this condition.

That's what someone told me and it was the key term to use, that way they can't focus on one ailment.

Just sayin'.

GOOD LUCK AND I HOPE YOU WIN YOUR CASE!!!

and a prayer said for you, although I'm not sure my prayers go any higher than the ceiling. My husband went through this a few years ago. It took over a year for his approval, even though he needed both knees and a shoulder replaced.
