does anyone know how disability works for someone who got sick before they were ever able to work? My daughter Sarah was diagnosed with RSD when she was 13. Does a person need to pay into social security before they qualify for disability?

Back in 1986 I took in my 3 cousins and raised them as my own. The oldest had mental disabilities. When he turned 18 I went down and applied for SSI for him since he would probably never work. In 3 months he was approved and started receiving SSI payments.
He just turned 40 and he has his own apartment, and a part time job at Carrow's restaurant. He still collects SSI because he doesnt earn over whatever amount it is that would cut him off of SSI.
You should give it a shot as she has nothing to lose by trying
