What's a way to get SSDI (I think that's the acronym)?

I thought I had it. I put in 10 disabilities which I had and I wasn't lying about any of them. I would honestly never commit fraud, despite my circumstances, and never intend to.

But they said that I "didn't work enough hours."

I'm not sure how to make it go to my credit (Social Security credits, that is).

How many jobs or hours should you work?

I can also give you all the full message through a DM, perhaps.

I've worked, I think, eight jobs in total in the last decade with one year that I wasn't working (during the pandemic). Frankly, I could use the money; I'm trying to get into nursing school, though am getting my CNA first. And I need a car now. I have a Bachelor's degree in Communications, but want to change my career path for the time being.

To be fair, I didn't put all my work experience and there's more that I could put.

Is there a way to keep track of all the credits you have? Or "input" them or however you're supposed to do factor them into the system?

Also, assuming you get disability assistance from Social Security Administration, what's a good way to phrase or say certain things in the application process?

Do help out if you can. Thanks!

I know very little about this, but if this is in the US two things I have heard are that (1) the first claim is always rejected with a flimsy excuse and you have to keep applying and that (2) as ridiculous as it is, it really helps to have a lawyer. I've heaes of people getting pro bono help with this but I don't have any specific resources for you, sorry.

It's all very unfair and basically evil.

I live in Texas, and here, it's fucking absolute hell trying to get on SSDI. My family and I have been trying for the better part of a decade, and I'm basically almost giving up.
