Read the 3 Stickies at the top of this forum page for very important information. Some if not all will more than likely answer your questions.

Read the info on the Disability website: http://www.ssa.gov/disability/

"The definition of disability under Social Security is different than other programs. Social Security pays only for total disability. No benefits are payable for partial disability or for short-term disability.

"Disability" under Social Security is based on your inability to work. We consider you disabled under Social Security rules if:

You cannot do work that you did before;
We decide that you cannot adjust to other work because of your medical condition(s); and
Your disability has lasted or is expected to last for at least one year or to result in death.

This is a strict definition of disability. Social Security program rules assume that working families have access to other resources to provide support during periods of short-term disabilities, including workers' compensation, insurance, savings and investments."


Sorry I never heard of "freedom disability."

Your best bet in my personal opinion would be to apply.




GOOD LUCK!
