You need to keep appealing the SSD. They almost always turn you down the first time.
Keep it in appeals too. Don't let it run out or you have to start all over and then you lose back payments once you are approved.

Oh I didn't know they always turn you down the first time. I thought I just didn't qualify. Thanks hon. Ill apply again. Maybe I should call those SSD advocate lawyers.

Appeal if your time to appeal isn't up.
It is best to appeal than to let it run out and reapply.
I tell people to get a lawyer by the second or third time they are turned down.

How long can you apeal for? It was 2 years ago. So probably not
