Age is a big factor as well when it comes to applying for SSD, as the govt.considers most people over 50 unemployable if they are looking for new employment. Try getting it on your own first, as a lawyer will take around $5,000 of what you are entitled to, a lot of money if it is as all possible to get it on your own. Good luck…
