It sounds like you might be. Have your doctors told you that you can't work? Have you worked 5 of the last 10 years?
If you have support from your medical providers, apply.
Submit copies of what records you have and give
a complete list to SSA on the forms they require and they will obtain them for you.
You can apply in person,
by phone,
or online.
If you are denied, seek competent counsel by going to thislink and finding someone near you. Hire counsel
now if you feel uncomfortable proceeding alone or due to your health are not up
to the task.
Good luck.
