I can't say it enough...apply for SSDI ASAP.
I wanted to apply years ago, but put it off. Finally, after I was IP in 2018 I filled out the SSDI application. That was in November of 2018. I was denied, of course, so hired a lawyer. The lawyer is a tremendous help. Everything has moved along quite well, paperwork and such. Originally I was told my court date would be in September or October 2020. I thought surely that because of COVID my court date would be delayed. I was very surprised and pleased when my lawyer contacted me a few weeks ago and told me that my court date will be 7/30. It will be by phone, due to COVID.
I sure hope I'll be approved; I expect that I will. I'm just so sorry that I waited to apply. Unless you have a terminal illness or are completely physically disabled it takes at least 2 years to be approved. The sooner you apply, the better!
