Social security it based on your work credits. If you do not have enough years of work you will get SSI. If you do have the credits you will receive SSD.

When my doctor neurologist at @SF MS hospital said I could no longer work, they helped me with SS disability paperwork and within a year I was approved. I was told that when the neurologist(s) at the MS clinic suggest you no longer can work they have a 99% approval rate from SS. See a neurologist that has MS qualifications. I also saw a neuro-psych.

Go ahead sign up for ssiWhen approved for disability it will be added to ssi. My breakout for disability will be November . it has been a long uphill climb. Be encouragef. God has not brought ypu this fat to leave you.

I would love to work but I am always in pain and pain med. Don't help! I look fine but I hurt from my head to my toes. I hate that I go in there and would love for them to say that it is just impossible for you to work, but I don't wont them to think I am just trying to say there is nothing wrong with you. I go to the chiropractor 3 times a week now, i do Botox, every 3 months and i go to a therapist 1 a week, I just started acupuncture a little over a week ago. I am waiting I hope to see a judge some time next month. Tired of waiting and Mad because, I would Love to go to work, This school year i am going to volunteer at my girls school to get me out of the house.. Thanks Sheri
It's hard to get either one. Been appealing since 2010. That's even with a lawyer. It's definitely a waiting game.
