Has anyone looked into receiving SSDI?
I am currently looking into it and am already overwhelmed.
Anyone have any tips? Is it worth going through the whole process?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you have the MRI results that clearly say you have MS take it with you. I did and it was approved first try. Once approved you'll have a 6 month wait period.

Try the company called ALLSUP. They take you through it from start to finish so that it's not so overwhelming. With them you don't have to wait until you're denied before they take your case. But they only take it it if they believe they can win it. Also be sure your doc is on board.

Some people people get it sooner than others.
Be Blessed!

I have been on SSDI for a few years now because of my vision, I do not feel the MS is bad enough yet to add it. When they time comes, I will cross that bridge.

I told them I had Ms and got it immediately, if they give you a hard time keep aplying when they approve you get retroactive from 1st application, but to get in easier get one of these tv lawyers, and you should have no problem.
