You do not mention specifics related to your "heart problems". Are you speaking about short term, long term disability or social security disability insurance (ssdi)?
Your question does not give enough information.
If you are truely qualified for disability, start with your cardiologist or primary care physician.
If your looking into permanent disability through SSDI, try contacting your locating Social Security Administration office or visit them on the web at www.ssa.gov.
You can start the process through this website.
Good Luck

I get Social Security Disability because of heart problems, coronary heart disease. But I also have alot of other medical problems. There is alot of paperwork; applying for disability; also alot of time involved; you might be sent for other tests, you'll need all your Doctor's reports. It took months for me and then I was still denied; had to get a lawyer and then finally was approved.

Go to your local social security office and fill out the paper work to recieve disability and they will let you know if you qualify and what kind of documents you will need to get from your doctor

Disability? What are your problems? That can determine what your issues are and if you can qualify for a disability.

If you are speaking of SSA, you must be considered unable to do ANY KIND of work by your doctor in writing, then submit an application to SSA where they will request more information and possibly a physical exam at your expense. Then they will call you for a hearing after which they will make a decision as to your eligibility for benefits.

you have to get a specialist to sign a form from social security(centrelink) saying the exsisting problem has been diagnosed & the problem will be with you longer than 2yrs !!!! then you will get a rejection letter from centrelink ??? appeal the rejection letter!!!! argue the problem would put yourself & others around me at risk !!!

ssa.gov
has a list of 'qualifying conditions' under which you can file for SSI. Start there.
