Go to your Local Social security office and ask them how to proceed and for what program.

I think Christina means SSI (Supplemental Security Income.) There is SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) and SSI.
If you use a law firm, any lawyer will automatically submit an application for SSI along with applying for SSDI. On your own, you will have to submit both applications. I do not recommend doing that on your own. To get SSI, you go through the same process as trying to get SSDI. That means that you must convince them (over at SSA) that you are disabled. Do yourself a favor and talk to a lawyer before beginning. It won't cost you anything, initially.

Also, as Christina said, backup from a doctor is pretty essential.
