Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Your work record doesn't show enough history of work, plus it is 10 years old, so the chances of receiving SSDI are slim. Also SSDI requires medical information from treating doctors, and reasons WHY you are no longer able to work. SSDI would question why you waited 10 years to apply. This would be an immediate flag on your application. However, you MAY qualify for SSI (Supplemental Security Income). However, this is based on financial need, is 'means tested', you must show your bank accounts, assetts (if any), your bills, etc. Go to the website and read through the differences between SSDI and SSI http://www.ssa.gov/disability/ be aware that SSI benefits are being slashed/cut even further this year. ~ Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
