Return to Videos   You can apply for Social Security disability, your by going down to your local Social Security disability or Social Security office. They will take in your claim there or else they'll set you down for a time to come in, in a week or two to do your claim. Or you can do it online at the 1-800 toll-free number. Either way is good, but just make sure that you have your list of doctors with their names and addresses and the approximate dates that you've seen them when you do this, so it's going to make it a lot easier for Social Security when they open the claim, they are going to get the medical records that you have free of charge to you. After that, you start appealing then you have to get your own records and that's going to cost you some money, so it's better off to be well prepared when you file your claim.
