Really, you should do this as soon as you become disabled because the social security disability and ssi disability system moves very slow. You could easily find that your initial claim for SSDI (social security disability insurance) or SSI (supplemental security income) takes six months or longer, though most applications probably take three to four months. Even worse, however, if you get denied on your disability application, and decide to appeal---generally, appealing is better than filing a new claim---you could easily see your case tied up in the social security administration's appeal system for well over two years, meaning that your claim, from application to end, could take 2-3 years to finish before you are finally approved. And bear in mind, not everyone finally gets approved (though your chances of getting approved get substantially better at a hearing before a judge, especially if you are represented by an experienced advocate). When does the social security administration consider you to be disabled? Answer: at the point at which your physical and/or mental problems limit you enough so as to make it impossible for you to do the jobs you've done in the past and likewise impossible for you to do other forms of work.
