What Can Be Done For SSI Disability?

My husband has trouble getting around. He is 51 years old. He has no health insurance. About 4 or 5 years ago, we went to Ok City to see about getting him on SSI Disability. He was turned down. He has gotten more limited. We would like to get into a doctor that can help him get onto disability.

If your husband is having more and more trouble getting around, it would be relatively easy for him to get disability. he must have some chronic medical condition that is interfering with his ability to ambulate and this same condition would help him qualify. For example, if he cannot work due to chronic back pain, this diagnosis could help him qualify fir disability. Any primary care physician can help you get the process started. This is very important to help you financially.
