15. Keep appealing

Social Security always seems to deny initial disability claims. You just keep appealing--and appealing, armed with the truth and your doctors as witnesses, until your claim is granted. You have to nag the shit out of the authorities until you've pestered them so much they'll grant your claim just to get you off their case.
