It's weird because I should have been able to still get help being that I can appeal for SSI if i don't have enough work credits. It's messed up because i did work like 3 years and don't understand how that isn't considered a work credit... i don't understand how work credits work any and need to do my research on it...

Hi Spectrolite, just a thought since you mentioned ur on meds, perhaps you could go to your pharmacy and have them pull up your med history. However many you go to all phRmacys run n print a report free of charge. Many can go back more than five years. They should able to tell you the names of doctors and the perscribed drugs. This might help narrow down when you were last insured. Also if ur insurance covered ur meds the history print out from the pharmacy should indicate that as well.
Most people are denied the first few times they apply. Its nothing personal, its how they keep they're jobs. Terrible but true. I worked as a contractor there for several years. If you tell them that you have mental issues and or physical issues they should assign you a case worker to help you. Keep calling until you get a rep that will help. Did they send you a list of stuff as to why u were denied or is it just your last insured date?
Also they have a "book" of eligable disabilites, u may already kno this, but if you google: ssa.gov disability blue book, the results lead you to this helpful guide. Dont give up. If you miss a date for an appeal a doctors note explaining you are not always emotionally n mentally able to deal with the pressure or have to ability to organize what you need. The may extend the deadline or re-open an appeal. I used that several times when i missed deadlines.
Keep in touch...just to let you kno....i am not always here but i try to be.
Good luck and mind how you go....peace.
