So perhaps a Disability Attorney can cut through the red tape.

I just went thru all that and agree about the disability attorney. They know what SS requires for you to be approved and they'll get the needed things from your doctor. If you get approved then SS pays your monthly amount (your projected amount if you retired at full retirement age) going back to when they determine you were disabled or when you first applied. The disability attorney takes 25% of that check, so if they don't feel you have a winnable case they won't take it. After that you'll owe them nothing. I think there's rules against them charging more. If you do get approved you're eligible for medicare in 2 years instead of waiting till you're old enough.
I also agree with selling the modern either way for what you can get. And don't buy more. Use the money you get to pay off higher interest stuff first.
Good Luck. It'll get better
