You can also ask your federal senators to jump in and help. Every senator has a government agency liaison in their office. Go to your senator's website and look for the link to get in touch with their Social Security liaison. I did that when I relocated to Arizona and SSDI hadn't figured out which state would continue my payments. Ends up New York had to continue making all my payments for me. It took my senator's office 3 weeks to do what I couldn't do in about 4 or 5 months.

Hello! Yes! You would qualify for SSDI but they have a very high initial turn down rate. Be prepared to have to go though the appeal process.

Yes you can. I was put on Permanent Disability once diagnosed. However, my employer provided legal assistance to speed up the process.
