You can be denied for a variety of reasons, regardless of if you have enough work credits.
Be sure to give detailed specific responses to any questions that they ask. I don't know your disability, but for example, if you have problems standing for long periods of time don't just say "I can't stand very long" but instead say something more specific like "Standing for more than 20 minutes causes intense pains that require me to lay down or take additional meds" or whatever pertains to your situation. And remember to relate your inabilities to work to ANY job, not just your current job.
Good luck with your claim!

yes, you can be. My husband had 40 credits the first time he applied and he has emphysema, asthma, plus mental health problems. He was denied twice and then he applied again and his credits had ran out and he now doesn't qualify. I think they deliberately denied him cause they knew his credits was going to run out soon. Thats how the govt. works. What I would like to know is how someone gets it that has never earned enough credits? I have children that have done this. Why is this so complicated? Good luck!

If you have a spotty work history you may qualify for SSI, a program for poor recipients. I know of ppl who haven't done any work at all, and their disability qualified, so they'll get a "gold" SSI check instead of an SSDI check.
I first had DI insurance from California EDD, and I didn't qualify for SSI until that money was spent. I got SSDI the first time around with no lawyers. I finally got SSI when my assets dropped below the limit.

You can always be denied, and not necessarily because you don't have enough credits. Best of luck to you.

You need to have medical evidence stating that your condition causes you to be incapacitated and unable to be gainfully employed.
If you do not have enough credits you can be eligible for SSI.
