*UPDATE* I haven't even finished filling out the paperwork yet! (I'm doing it on my computer. I already received a rejection because I "do not have enough credits to qualify for benefits".

So basically, the past 20 years don't count I guess because I haven't worked the past 5 years. I guess it's time to start the good fight and put everything in that appeal from the time I first farted in my diaper.

Wish me luck.

P.S. In getting information to fill out this claim, SSI and the IRS were more helpful and nice to me that the "screeners" at the 2 atty's offices I called. One even had a commercial on it that said "don't let people intimidate you about your SSDI benefits". So I called them, and they intimidated me.

No one at the attorney's office would talk to me at all because I didn't have enough credits. Please!
