Get an attorney specializes in disability and only gets paid when you do. They will help you fill out form. Be sure to list all things wrong like depression or migraines. Keep all paperwork from Dr's. Try to get dr to write letter stating you are disabled. My attorney told me it takes 2 "waiting" yes to even get hearing in Ohio. Be sure to plan $ for that. It did take 2 yrs to get one for me and he did all talking. I got it on 1st try had check month later. Good luck w it!

Apply , disability application. Get disability lawyers to help . Beware because disability will look and see if there’s other jobs you are able to perform . Myself I can’t do much rate now because I’m bed bound most of my time from severe fibro chronic fatigue and orthostatic intolerance. I think I got fibromyalgia from commercial building construction and weight lifting in the gym also emotional trauma from anxiety depression and my most recent break up
