I went to my local Social Security office and picked up the application and at that time was given a appointment time to return and meet with the soc. sec. rep and go over and turn in my app. Like Julie I also got accepted aprox. within a couple of months.
I used a Disability Lawyer, not a Lawyer. A Disability Lawyer. collects NO MONEY, from you, during the process, so go, it is the Federal Law, I am in Houston, Tx. Google disability lawyer in ur area. Remember, it is federal law, they cannot charge you. Do it.

Some states offer their own short term disability which you can pursue. When I was in NY I was able to get their short term disability. now I live in Arizona which does NOT offer it.
You can probably begin your Social Security disability application on-line. When I applied for mine that wasn't available and I had to apply in-person. Expect to be turned down the first time around. Most of the time people win on appeal. I got mine on appeal and I did that on my own. Some people even engage an attorney to file their appeals.
You will need your income records for the last several years and affirmations from doctors, employers, and when I did my appeal, also colleagues and clients.
Don't get discouraged. It's a lot to deal with if it goes to appeal...but it can be done!
I applied online, put in as much info as you can. I was approved in just a couple months.
