My son is considering applying for SSDI. He is 20 yrs old and has only had two part -time summer jobs, each lasting less than two months. He will be applying under my work history as I am also disabled (due primarily to RSD and several other physical conditions). *SSDI allows children under 22 to apply under their disabled parent's work history. Anyway the main reason he is applying is chronic severe daily migraine headaches. He also has bipolar with depression but it isn't really disabling. My question is should I include the bipolar/depression diagnosis when applying or only the chronic migraine diagnosis? Any insight/advice anyone can give would be greatly appreciated. When I applied I was extremely lucky and blessed to be approved within 2 months of turning in my paperwork. From what I have heard this is very unusual and it is usually a long drawn out battle to get SSDI. What can I expect with his case?
