2 appeals and doctors agree on diagnosis

Question:

I have 2 appeals:  one at Regional Waco, Texas and the other in Washington DC. With over 3 doctors saying the exact same medical diagnosis. Why hasn't the Department approved anything?

I don't know. Unless I have your entire folder and history in front of me I haven't a clue about your case. The best I can offer is that appeals are taking 5 to 7 years to resolve. Patience is a virtue!
