The most difficult thing in your SSDI application is to prove your disability is severe enough to last at least 12 months, or unfortunately, result in death. When you are disabled, this may be a daunting task since you may already be under depression or anxiety due to your disability and its tolls on your life. Nonetheless, if you think that your disability is severe enough and prevents you from going to work or perform in substantial gainful activity, SGA, then you should apply for your disability benefits as soon as possible.
One common misconception people have is that they have to wait for at least 5 months since their disability to be able to file an application. That is not true. You should apply as soon as your disability and its severity are diagnosed because the time it takes for your application to be processed by the social security administration (5 months) will be counted as the time required for the waiting period of your disability (5 months).

You can go to your nearest social security administration office, or contact them through telephone 1–800-772-213, or apply online directly on the SSA's website.
