I went through it. They will look at evidence, a diagnosis, and the person will be tested by Disability's psychologist unless he has already been evaluated by a professional they work with. Since thousands of folks with bipolar have jobs, many high level, you dont get Disability just for a bipolar diagnosis. You need proof that the bipolar and maybe other issues (not drug abuse) cause an inability to work. It is getting harder to get Disability. States are making it more difficult.
