There is no way to check short of applying. SSDI is based on your having paid into Social Security for a sufficient period of time and on your residual functional ability. You can apply at www.ssa.gov. If you apply, are denied; file for reconsideration, are denied; file for redetermination, are denied; and appeal to an administrative law judge, you can find a lawyer to represent you at the website of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants Representatives.
