there are two kinds of disability ... one due to on the job injury and the other due to not on the job conditions.
the first is usually part of workmen's compensation and is regulated as such under the laws of your state. Of course, if you weren't injured on the job, you're not eligible.
the second is administered by Social Security. pls read about it on their website. I know from direct experience that their investigators will ask your recent employers, neighbors, friends, etc. about your 'disability'. If you are denied, there are many, many possible appeals which cost you nothing.
And, so far, you make no case for being disabled, only unemployed.
what you seem to need is a job
GL finding one

What kind of disability checks are you talking about.I started my disability with checks from the insurance company then after I got a settlement I went on Social Security Disability. I am 63 & still get SSD. Because I got SSD before I was old enough for SS. I will get SSD for the rest of my life.I only get 2/3 of what I would have got if I had been working until 65.The insurance company only pays for so long, 2 years at most in my case. That is why they kept pushing for the settlement.My lawyer said I could fight in court but my checks would stop.Even then there was a chance the insurance company would win & I would get hardly anything. So I settled for about $200,000 less then I wanted. I lost 5 disc & 2 nerves. $ 170,000 is not much for being able to hardly walk.

Whose "disability checks" are you talking about? If you didn't qualify under someone's "disability" program, it's not likely you can start receiving any checks. I guess the amounts depend on the specific Plan in place.
You know, I suppose, that you need to be disabled by something that happened during your period of employment.

If ur unable to work due to a permanent disability go to ur Social Security Adminstration and sign up by filling out a bunch of forms about ur disability , where you have been treated, when ur were treated, ur doctors, ur meds. etc. then wait for another appt. and wait another year until the board approves or disapproves--it's not that easy.
