After talking to a couple of people about my issues they asked if i had started the process of applying for disability now . They said most likely i will be denied at first but get something on file anyway.

Yes find a good disability lawyer ( they don't cost anything up front and only receive money if they win your case.) keep all your medical records and document everything you can. It is a long process. It took me 2 years, and I was dealing with the Lupus along with Migraines and seizures. Good luck!

Hello , its best to start the process now.. i had started the process about 6 months before i had to resign from my job, so when denied the first time ( which was in 3 months) i had to shop around for a lawyer that does that kind of work dealing with disability cases they don't charge until the cases are over if you win which usually happens in these cases then they get paid with the months of back pay that is issued to you...if they lose ,your not responsible for a pay...i just received disability in 10/2017..
