I'm middle aged but am unable work a full time job because of back, joint, and nerve damage. I'm considering applying for disability, as the condition seems to be getting progressively worse and have been to several specialists. Any help from someone who has been through the process would be appreciated.

I'll point you to the site who's advice helped me win my claim the first time I filed. Read every word on the site and take heed:
It is extremely difficult to qualify for Social Security disability with a back disorder if you are under 50 years old. Unless your condition is so severe that you have lost most of your back motion or a doctor states that you require a walker to ambulate, they will say there are light or sedentary jobs you are capable of.
you could prepare for Social secure practices retirement at sixty two. i understand that once you're sixty 5, in the adventure that your SS falls below a baseline your SSI will make up the adaptation. as an occasion, in the adventure that your SS retirement is $500 a month, the SSI will upload to it to prevail in a baseline poverty point set via the county you reside in. i do no longer understand if this rule applies to those that take their SS retirement at sixty two. verify which contain your welfare workplace the place you utilized for the SSI.
