The process is fairly straightforward. 

Before starting the application, gather the following information:

• Personal Information: Your name, date of birth, Social Security number, contact information, and marital status.
• Medical Information: Detailed information about your medical condition, including doctors’ names, dates of treatment, medications, test results, and any other relevant medical documentation.
• Work History: A detailed work history, including the names and addresses of your employers, the dates you worked for each employer, and a description of the work you did.
• Education and Training: Information about your education and any vocational training you’ve received.
• Financial Information: Information about your income, assets, and any other benefits you’re receiving.

The SSA will review the application and medical records to determine eligibility.
