If you are under age 55, and can perform unskilled, sedentary work, then you will be denied for SSI/SSDI, the fact that you can't perform prior work doesn't matter.
How does your diabetes and high blood pressure keep you from working?
What functional limitations do you claim from a broken hip and femur from 9 years ago?
How long are you able to sit and stand--documented either by a Functional Capacity Evaluation or claimed by a doctor backed up with significant medical documentation?
Do you use a Cpap machine at night while you sleep?
Have you seen a spine surgeon? Has surgery been recommended for your pinched nerves? Have you done any physical therapy?
