Oh, and age, too, can make it harder the younger the adult you are . Unless things have changed since I got it 6 years ago ....I had to have a full 2 years of no income to apply (NOT my husband's income or lack of), I needed to have at least 40 quarters of soc sec withholdings to qualify. If those are the same rules today start there. P.S. I did Not use or need a lawyer and after tons of documentation I submitted it was approved in 6 weeks. If you are not depressed before starting you will be after you document in writing how " useless " you are to the government. In our society that is a difficult pill to swallow and then not feel it after. You have to start with a mind set to prove what we scoliomites fight against since our diagnosis. The " I can do anything " type A personality grows against our body image as we age and accept our body. To turn-around to prove yourself " useless " is a self-esteem killer.
