My main disabilty is Major Depressive Disorder, and I did get SSDI last year. Besides the depression, I have other problems like chronic neck pain related to deteriorated disks in my neck.

When I filed, I followed the advice of lawyers that I read in books and on-line, and I put down EVERYTHING that was affecting me, physical and mental. I think that is why I got approved for SSDI in 3 months. I would urge you to do the same if you file for disability social security. They are interested in the total picture. My doctor had implied that they wouldn't be and that I should focus on the depression as my disability. Well, they sent me for X-rays to substantiate my physical complaints. Those X-rays showed me that I had more wrong with me than even I knew.

Sometimes there might be no one problem that is big enough to warrant a disability claim, while all problems taken together do. Tell the whole story. Not only did I get SSDI, but I got it in 3 months, which my doctor said was practically "unheard of." I believe my success was due to laying out all my problems.

The social security people do add it all together. It sounds to me like you have an excellent case. How you handle it is the key. You're welcome to PM me if you like.
