I hope you have a real good lawyer. In my case, I ended up having to fire my lawyers[Binder and Binder]. I was filing for SSDI, and believe me, I went through hell for five years. Make sure you do your homework. Get yourself the pamphlets from social security that will tell you about ssi and ssdi. Social security will do their best to frustrate you, hoping you will give up and go away. Don't let them. Even though I did qualify for disability, I didn't for ssi. The reason was because, my wife made too much a year from her pension ( $12,350 ). I think that is sad, but at that point, I was argued out. One of the good things about ssi is, you are allowed to work. Offhand, I'm not sure how much your allowed to make.
If you are applying for ssdi, make sure your doctors say,
you can not work because of your disability.
I really hope you do not have to go through what I did,and I wish you all the luck in the world.
