remember, if you do not qualify for SSDI (the insurance you paid into), there is still SSI (Supplimental Security Income) a State supported disability income paid thru the Social Security Admin, for persons who DO qualify as disabled but not as eligible for SSDI.

DO APPEAL on the grounds that your condition is worsening, and you are certified by at least 2 doctor to be unable to work.

best wishes~
