This, pretty much.
What I have stated previously in this thread is based not only on my own experience but also on the experience of helping several people go through the process.
It's involved and generally the SSA needs to see evidence of effort to improve your situation- so often if you break a foot you get it casted so it can heal and you can then eventually walk around on it again.
You don't settle for crutches or a wheelchair indefinitely because a cast is itchy.
They provide benefits generally based on the criteria that you are unable support yourself despite efforts at treatment. At this point in the discussion you kind of seemed almost opposed to the idea of treatment. So, to be honest, your chances at being approved for any type of benefits based on the experiences I have described are likely pretty slim.
