Oh well I know the difference between the two, I was going to apply for SSI not SSDI. And I know SSI has nothing to do with social security or food stamps.

Not sure why I wouldn't qualify for SSI unless of course they decide my symptoms aren't serious enough or whatever in which case, I am really not sure what I will do.
