Thanks mca.

Is SS Disability the same as SS collected at retirement age? Does it come from a retirement account or a Federal Account? My retirement SS is so little. Many years ago, I called lawyers to see if I could receive SS Disability and I was told I had too little in my account.

P.S. SS Disability is provided by the federal government so your response from them should not be specific to the state you live in.

I was denied Social Security disability (nothing to do with age) the first time I applied, which is their standard response. I then used an attorney who is paid only if disability is approved. I believe that is the only way to be approved. They usually advertise as specializing in obtaining SS disability payments.

Sorry to hear, I wish you the best of luck getting the Disability approved, if they really understood that Fibro is debilitating they should approve those ones that can no longer work. I am not saying approve everyone just because they have Fibro but the ones that have all the complications and not able to function as we use too. I was diagnosed in 2011, didn't start tx until I believe 2015, and it has just progressively gotten worse to the point I can't work anymore.
