In addition to 's link below, there was a great link posted last month

regarding applying for social security disability income:

http://stu.westga.edu/~wmaples/ssdi_tips.html

I have not applied for disability, but this is a thorough step by step

instruction sheet. I hope you find it useful.

I do not post much, but I read the posts everyday. Good luck.
