I recently moved and have tried to work but am not able to hold down a job due to anxiety and depression, not to mention I am bipolar. So I've decided to apply for disability. Does anyone have any advice on this? Has anyone applied and been successful or not successful. Thank you in advance for any advice.

I applied for SSDI (Social Security Disability Income) at age 60 and was finally approved a little over a year later after having made an appeal following a medical hospitalization stemming from stress, anxiety and depression after having been denied. I did not have a great amount of disability documentation, but the judge at my hearing listened attentively and became convinced I had truly made an honest effort to keep working for just as long as I possibly could. That does not mean you should keep trying to work if you honestly cannot, but do be prepared for being challenged to prove you cannot.
