Does it look like I might have a good case. I finally had to stop working in March. I'm working on the SSD papers now. My Dr told me I should apply with the mental issues,they get approved quicker. I don't know if she has seen this happen,I didn't ask. I thought I would put those issues down first then follow with the physical. Although,they kinda tie in together.

The disability decision for SSI is the same as the disability decision for SSDI so you can't get SSI while you wait for SSDI. The exception would be if you filed your claim during the five month waiting period for SSDI and were found disabled immediately. It all depends on numbers and dates. You should list all medical conditions that affect your ability to work. Sometimes it is the combination of conditions that are used to decide if you are disabled.
You should make completing a thorough application a priority. This process can take a long time. You don't want to add to the time.
