If I'm not mistaken, vets get priority when it comes to applying for SSDI. At least that was the way it was 10 yrs ago. Is your husband's medical condition military related? Vets use to get put on the top of the pile. There use to be "military disability" also. Has your husband applied or at least looked into it?
As for getting an attorney or a rep at the beginning of an SS application process, you should do some investigation/research in this matter. Do what is best for your husband & you (since you appear to be handling his SS process). What is best for one does not mean it will be best for all. All we can do is recommend, suggest and support you from beginning to end.
Also, suggest that when you get time, read all of the stickies at the top of this site. Wealth of info there.
GOOD LUCK! 
P.S. I am not in Florida. Sure wish I was!
