if you can work you don't need ssi
If all you can muster is PT work at a low-paying menial job sometime after you start receiving SSDI the SSA will allow that. They will look at your earnings after 9 mths of work to see if your wages are substantial enough to leave SSDI or not. I cleaned offices PT ($7/hr) a yr after starting SSDI and that's as much work as I could handle - I could not work around people because my interacting skills were lousy.
