I talked to a lawyer today who deals quite a bit with SSDI cases. He said to go ahead and apply now since they will most likely deny me the first time in any case, and the appeal process takes quite a while. He said that if I improved and wanted to go back to work, I could always withdraw my appeal.

Sort of a can't hurt, might help approach.

He also said that my time working could count as part of my trial work period and therefore wouldn't necessarily count against me, but you're limited to nine months of that.

It was an interesting conversation. I'm glad I called.
