Yes, some people have been successful, getting approved for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). The very best place to read about SSDI is at the Social Security Administrations web site on disability. I have attached that link to this note. Note - these are all facts.You can also read discussions about SSDI in the Archives section of this site. There are quite a few strings of notes on this topic. Note - these are mostly opinions.
I am reluctant to say much more because this is a very complex topic that one could write a book on. But if you will do the reading I've reoommended, that will definitely give you some good information.
