Randy, I get SS disability. I would call the 800 number for disabiity and ask 800-772-1213. Of course you can get disability. If you paid in for that many years I sure cant imagine any senario that would refuse that other than it just takes time to get it up and going. There is a delay in start up of Medicare benefit part of disability that is 2 years I believe. I went thru that and my doc who documented the disabilty took that into account and adjusted the date of my start of symptoms, not in a dishonest way but to be sure to account for that lag time that existed in the regulations. It seems crazy to get on Disabiltiy and have a delay of 2-3 years till your insurance kicks in!!
