Dear dreamer,

Needing to work, wanting to work, and being "capable" of work are not all synonymous.

NEED to work another 15 years (at least)
as you stated but sometimes life does not go along with our PLANS nor our needs.

One other comment, .... just because a medical condition is not a "LISTED" condition does not preclude one from SSDI benefits. There are times when several conditions are combined to meet eligibility.

And more importantly to note,.... It is not that one HAS a medical condition, it is how the condition affects their ability to work at any job.

A person can have a listed medical condition and still not qualify and some qualify without meeting any one specific listing. SSDI is not that simple and clear cut.

Wishing you the best. That includes the ability for you to be able to work another 15 years or longer. Life is a lot better if one does not NEED the aid of disability and can still work.
