If not go into the SS office and do so don't do it on the computer do it in person.Fill the papers out there.Don't wait to get turned down that could take up to 6 months.Leave there and go straight to a SS lawyer.Yes you can do it I did.

MSF 262 SSDI MS Disability. I hope this helps.
If you live with multiple sclerosis and are unable to work due to an MS-related disability and/or other conditions, you might be entitled to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income
(SSI) benefits. The Social Security Disability Guidebook can assist you in deciding whether applying for disability benefits is right for you, and in navigating the complex application process. Additionally, information about certain types of MS that may qualify a person for an expedited review of their application for disability benefits is provided on this website in the section on Compassionate Allowances. The Social Security Administration (SSA) recognizes MS as a chronic illness or impairment that can cause disability severe enough to prevent an individual from working. If you have any of the following symptoms, or any combination of these or other symptoms that prevent you from working, you might qualify for Social Security benefits:
Difficulty with walking and other motor skills Difficulty seeing
Difficulty concentrating or completing simple tasks
Difficulty remembering
Extreme fatigue, regardless of sleep
Speech impairment
Side effects of medication(s)
While SSI and SSDI provide different benefits, SSA uses the same disability determination process for both. You can even qualify for both at the same time. This Guidebook, Applying for Social Security Benefits: A Guidebook for People with MS and Their Healthcare Providers focuses primarily on the SSDI application process but includes helpful information for both programs. If you need additional information or help as you read through the Guidebook, contact an MS Navigator, call SSA at (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators).
The Society's MS Navigators help identify solutions and provide access to the resources you are looking for. Call (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators) or see "More info" to contact us online.

Exactly what Cheryl said.
The determining factor goes by How much you've paid in the System.
Go in person was Great advice.

Yes, I was found disabled thanks to my lawyer. It is 2 years and 9 months in on the first application and 9 months in on the appeal. My meeting is Wednesday the 13 and I was just trying to see what to expect.

@A MyMSTeam Member Sounds all too familiar. My lawyer was my ace in the hole. My lost career in education was what won the judge. :) Thank you and everyone for the hugs and love. :D
