[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 669750, member: 1963"] Yes, the not working for a year is a huge issue. Check and see if you have to be out of work for a year at time of first application, or out of work for a year at time of first collection of benefits. I had been out of work for over a year when I applied, but I had a small VA widows' pension coming in, and that, with food pantry and energy assistance, etc., enabled me to survive (barely) I THINK, the way it worked is that I had to be disabled for at least a year before applying. As I recall, my disability date was calculated back to a specific incident that occurred while I was still working. (I was written up and in writing informed that if an incident due to my disability occurred again, I would be terminated) I had proof in writing of that incident that was included when I went before the judge. Check with an attorney or ssa.gov for the current rules. [/QUOTE]
