The application for social security disability is very easy to initiate and have filed.

Simply contact the social security office closest to where you live and inform that office that you wish to file an application for disability. Whether or not your disability application is for social security disability (aka ssd, rsdi, title II, ssdi) or SSI (aka title 16, supplemental security income) will be determined by the social security office.

Once you have informed the social security office that you wish to apply for disability benefits, an appointment will be scheduled for an interview to be conducted. This interview may be conducted in person at the social security office, or over the phone. If you choose, or are requested, to have a phone interview, all necessary paperwork will be mailed to your home.
