I applied for Disability 3 times for Migraines. First two times were on my own(not a smart idea). Finally went to a Disability Lawyer and got it on my third try. You have to make sure your condition is documented on paper. They want to see everything that you have tried and if your migraines are getting better/worse. Keep a calendar of each migraine you get. When I went to my hearing,my Lawyer had 10 thick binders of my Doctors notes,visits etc. Also showed Judge my Migraine calendars. Get a Lawyer,it will make it easier on you
