If you started work at age 16, worked every year for the next 34 years, you would have stopped work at age 50 and should have had enough Social Security credits to create a date last insured at age 55. But that doesn't correspond with getting sick at a young age and being unable to work.
Perhaps your work was sporadic, you worked off and on for 34 years, or for cash, or for places that didn't pay into Social Security.
