HALLIEBETH, if you can't take advantage of anything like Wild Coyote suggested, it still seems like a good thing that the job was able to "make things work". It is a bummer that one must sometimes take a relatively lower paying job than normal to get back to the workforce.
I happened to stumble upon this when researching more about SSDI over this past weekend. Happy to share!

As I understand this, one is eligible if disability began before the age of 26.
And.. a person only needs a doctor certifying disability, for anyone not receiving SSI or SSDI.'

There is an online questionnaire which asks questions to help you to determine if you qualify. There is also an "800" number for any questions!

I wish it was available to everyone with a disability!
