You do not note your son's age. Eligibility is different for children and for adults. Eligibility is also not determined merely by diagnosis (which your son does not yet have) but also by residual functional ability: whether he is able to do a job, any job. Your first step is to visit a physician. You can then apply online at www.ssa.gov. You may not need a lawyer unless you appeal to an administrative law judge. You can then find one on the website of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants Representatives.
