Being disabled is hard enough without needing to pay a lawyer to apply on your behalf for a disability ruling.
May I ask please, only because I don't know how it works at all in the US, if the disability is government run or is it insurance company run?
It seems so difficult to get disability there or maybe it is because I just don't know how it is done and I'm used to another system.

It is very complicated. Has alot of red tape and usually you don't get approved th first time and you eand u having to get a lawyer and appeling the desicion. But to answer your question it is usually money you put in while working. But if you do not have enough work credits to get disability then you get SSI which is gov. run.
