The most important question would be if you have been gainfully employed full time in the past 5 years. If not, this could be an issue and you may no longer be eleigibel to apply for SSDI. You would want to find out if you have enough work credits to apply again. You can access www.SSA.GOV or find an attorney that can assist in the process.

If you were denied in 2015 and have not followed up with a request for reconsideration or if that was denied and you have not followed up with a request for redetermination or if that was denied and you did not hire a lawyer and appeal to an administrative law judge, you must start again. Please note that if you have been disabled and not working for more than five years, it may be too late. While you can apply online at www.ssa.gov or make an appointment with your local Social Security office, you may want to discuss your situation with an attorney who specializes in this area. You can find one through the National Organization of Social Security Claimants Representatives.
