The problem with the SSDI applications is that they don't ask the right questions, especially for "invisible" disabilities like mental illness. A good disability attorney will guide you to give the right information. If you don't get any back payments it will cost you nothing. If you do get back payments, they will get a percentage that is limited by law.
