Sorry, this may not have been the place to ask a question--

I worry that if I can't work, I would have no means of support until SSI was approved. And it probably depends a lot on the individual circumstances on how long it takes to be approved...

So I guess my question is what was your experience with the process? How did you go about it? It just seems so scary and unknown, and I want to know what to do if I get in trouble.
