disability application, redux

I got email this morning telling me to log in for information about a change in my submission's status. THey have rejected my appeal, and will send me the explanation by post in 15-20 days, after which I have 60 days to appeal, if I want.

So, next week I will call my lawyer, and ask him whether I need to do anything now, or just wait for the letter so I know what I'm arguing with. I am oddly calm about this round of bad news.

(There was a message on Thursday that led to a page that said both that there was an unspecified change in my application's status, and that they had begun a medical review in August 2023, with nothing more recent. I was going to call the lawyer yesterday, but decided I wasn't up for a possible long phone conversation. As it turns out, that call would have been a waste of my and the lawyer's time. Sometimes procrastinating has value.
