It has taken a toll for sure as a life time of physical labor will often do but thats has nothing to do with this. , You left work because of injuries so severe you qualified for SS disability benefits. You didn't file workers comp claim.... Thats what im getting at.
Im not knocking you, just that its to bad you didn't consult someone.
Consider that my wife was diagnosed Stage 4 incurable cancer, was forced to stop working at 58 yrs old. Under the advise of a attorney, she filed for SSD and was qualified the first time she applied....if she was denied than the attorney would have taken her case
