Social Security disability info
In case this will help someone in making decisions on whether to file I did a little research.
Disability is available if:
1. You have enough credits from earnings (depending on your age, you must have earned 6 to 20 credits of your credits in the three to 10 years before you came disabled).
2. A physical or mental impairment that is expected to prevent you from doing "substantial" work for a year or more or result in death.
It is worth it to go to your local security office and talk to a social security case worker there. Some offices require an appointment so you should call before hand.
Hope this helps ~
Hugs ~ Ruth
