This whole thing is hair pulling, head banging against a desk inducing.

Sorry this happened to you.
I was told the same thing and that the credits have to be for consecutive years worked.. This, to me, is silly. I have worked on and off since I was 15. I am 43 now. I applied for a temp. disability status ( like a 6 mo. term till I was on my feet again.) and was denied. All the time that I have worked means nothing. I was told that to insure my future in case something happens and I need to apply again, that I have to be employed for 5 years consecutively, earning an appropriate amount of credits. The system needs to be revised IMO.
