I have other problems (RSD and a bad back) my job will let me drive but will not get into that!

My husband is on SSI and we did get a diabilaty attorney on the case. They will not charge anything until you go to court (If it gets that far- they know how to complete the forms in a way that maybe SSI will pass) Anyway, the attorneys can only receive a certain amount from your settlement if you win your SSI case. (This is set by law and do not remember the amount) Your SSI will go back to the day you were considered disabled!!! Additionally, since it appears that you have been disabled for four years, you should not have to wait for medicare to kick in (if you need it).

Good luck and God Bless (and let me know how you make out!)
