There is a comment made by an expert. He said,

If you've seen one head injury, you've seen one head injury.

crystal, That doc was speaking above his pay grade.

It would not hurt to get started with a SSDI application. You do not need an attorney to apply. The standard is to have a disability that is expected to last longer than one year. Your doctor has just given you than prognosis. Whether he is accurate or not, it is enough to get an SSDI application started.

You can start the application process online at the Social Security Administration website. You do not need to complete the application is one sitting. Once you get started, you can log back in an continue working on it.

The process is worthwhile as it helps you put you condition into words.

So, go ahead and move forward. At least you will feel like you are doing something.

My best to you.
