Disability question

6. First get under drs care for your problem

Document everything, every treatment you're doctor has tried. Get copies of all medical records. This is not something that is easy to get and without proof from a doctor your chances of disability are close
to zero. It also depends on if they can find a type of work that someone with you condition can do. If you are currently working it will be tough. Sorry I am typing on cell phone and not good at it.I am on disability and did it myself without a lawyer. I was approved the first time. My profession was also medical, radiological technologist. It is the only work I ever did(42 years). X-ray tech is a physically demanding job and due to severe arthritis in both hips I could not continue. Because I had no experience in any other type of work and my age at the time (57) I was approved. It is possible to do it yourself but you have to do the homework. Good luck.
