They had all my treatment records. I have had the opposite experience that they absolutely look for reasons to deny. It could be the caseworkers/counties involved I suppose.

I am not sure how easy it is. I have a fairly serious mental illness that is well treated with medication, therapy, self care, etc. However to get approved for mawd my therapist had to write a letter stating I was literally at risk of death via suicide without medication. That's a lot to ask of a provider and a lot for someone with a mental illness to be willing to face/admit with the associated stigma.
