You can still work while applying. My husband was recently approved. My advice, the first thing you need to do is get a lawyer!! It will take time to be approved, and you will almost likely be denied the first time, but you appeal and when/if you get approved, you get back pay from the initial file date. You can actually still work after you are approved, it just has to be under a certain amount of hours. make sure you talk with your doctor(s) about it and get them on board and keep good records. You can message me through FB or here(not sure) if you want to ask anymore questions. I did a lot of research while we waited, but I wish I would have known to get a lawyer first! You never have to pay them, the disability will once you get approved. Btw my last name on fb is Barnes

I know how you feel.
I have many malfunctions.
Too many to list.

Thanks for the information...ive written down your information and would love to reach out to you. Thank you so much for offering...I am so overwhelmed by all the things I have to work on, so to have u available...it very nice of you

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and sleep disorder back in 2008 and Dr would not let me go back to work because I couldn't stay awake. I filed for disability and drew on my SS till I was approved for disability in 2009. I wasn't going to be able to even go for my hearing about my disability so my lawyer talk for me and I was approved just mainly on the Fibromyalgia. Hope this helped some....just get a good disability lawyer and you shouldn't have any problems. I didn't. God Bless

I had all the problems all of u have . Plus a few more. But, when I applied for SS. After 9 permanent disabilities. I got approved because I have Chronic Depression
