I have been disabled since 1996 and did not apply for SSI Disability at that time as I had money and did not think I would qualify. The money has run out and when I applied, do not meet the requirements because I have not worked in the time period required. I have been to a couple of different Dr. over the years. My problem is # 1. I cannot find the first Dr. in 96 and even if I found him I would not be able to get any records. This brings me to my other problem, I went to the second Dr. and he does not have records as they only keep them for 7 years. I have not been to the Dr. on a regular basis because the there is nothing that can be done except surgery. I have been denied and also denied on the appeal. Does anybody have any answers and id there anything I can do at this point?
