If you think you're disabled and unable to work, the first step is to consult with a doctor and get a professional medical evaluation. If your doctor agrees that you're unable to work due to your medical condition, you can then apply for Social Security Disability benefits. It's important to start this process as soon as possible, as it can take a long time to be approved for benefits. Consulting with a disability lawyer can also be beneficial, as they can guide you through the process and ensure you have the best chance of getting approved.
