If you are talking about social security disability, then most likely yes it will be denied. Without knowing your total history it's hard to say for sure. If you're a stay at home wife, then you imply that you are not paying in to social security disability, therefore you are not eligible to benefit from it. If you have worked in the somewhat recent past and have earned enough "work credits" then you indeed will be eligible, even though you are self-employed or stay at home now.
You must also be able to be considered disabled at least a full year from your foot surgery to qualify for SS disability.
If you are talking about getting disability payments from a private plan that you are paying into, then the only way to really know would be to contact that specific company to see what their policies are.

If the problem is bad enough to warrant disability it shouldnt be denied. You are probably talking about Social Security, in which case, even though they routinely deny the first two times and make you use your second appeal in a court, you would be awarded SSI.

USA currently? The lack of income may help your case for disability pay. As someone implied, it seems to be common to file and appeal, yet be denied for disability. A lawyer may be needed to 'deal' with them presently.

In order to get social security disability you have to have contributed a certain number of quarters of social security payments.
Social security disability payments are only for those who are not expected to ever get better or to die from their condition, and a lot of us have a heck of a time trying to get that.

That depends on how much you are making--and onn the extent and duration of the disability. You can go to the Social security website (ssa.gov) to get more information.

That depends entirely on the health benefits available to you in your area/region. Where I live, yes. In my travels I have come to understand the answer is often no.

I've never heard of that being a reason for denial, so I'm wondering just what kind of insurance you have. Ask your county if they will help.

That's one thing about SSI they might deny you repeatedly but you can keep on applying for it.
