I was just trying to be helpful, as you appeared to be reaching out for support. And just FYI, in case you're interested, the rule for collecting SSDI is that you have to have worked full time for 5 out of the 10 years previous to the onset of your disability, and for Disability benefits through the Social Security Administration there are no limits concerning when you last worked. (I happen to know this as it is my situation.) You do, however, need to be under the care of a doctor.
