Yes, and take all documents and bills( rent, gas, elect, water, prescriptions, doctors, hospitals, ect.), all of your doctors names that have treated you for PTSD and any illness linked to that. Set up an appointment with Social Security and take a family member with you. It may take a few months to get approved or denied. You can appeal a denial and if still denied, contact a lawyer who specializes in Social Security.

Short answer: Maybe
Long answer:
Social Security Administration will evaluate you 2 ways, medically and financially. You may be eligible for either Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) depending on your work history. The medical criteria for both is the same, and the application process for both is simultaneous.
Medically, you will have to prove that, due to your disability, you are unable to earn income for 12 months or more above the "substantial gainful activity" level which was set at $860/month for 2006. It will be easier to prove this if you have up-to-date medical or mental health records. If you have worked for short periods of time but haven't been able to continue because of your disability, you may still be eligible. SSA calls this an Unsuccessful Work Attempt.
Financially, if you have a very low (below $860/mo.) or no earned income and you don't own resources beyond $2,000 ($3,000 for a couple), you may be financially eligible for SSI. Some resources don't count such as 1 vehicle, the house you live in, equipment necessary for you to work, etc. If you are married, SSA will also consider your spouse's income and resources. If you have a work history, you may be eligible for SSDI. SSDI doesn't have a limit on your resources.
To get information on how to apply for benefits, go to: http://www.ssa.gov/applyfordisability/
Many people are denied on their initial application because they did not provide enough medical information. In this case, I recommend making an appeal. Here is a national list of independent living centers. A benefits advocate can be helpful. http://www.ilru.org/html/publications/directory/index.html
Also, here's a great group of people who've been through the process personally: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ssadisability/
Good luck!
