@AnthonyJK I applied for SSI from 2001 through 2017 and was denied repeatedly for my Schizoaffective disorder. More annoyingly my mom died when I was 8 and I was due survivors benefits that the SSA never paid. It took me years to get it. What finally made the difference was getting a doctor who documented everything and exactly how it made it impossible for me to work. I wish you the best. I know how hard it can be.
