An update:

I spoke with a lawyer today. She said that as long as my injury caused a disability that lasted 1 year in length and that I paid enough into the system (both of which are true in my case), that I do indeed qualify for SSDI. We started the paperwork and she's going to file an appeal for me. Which is really good to hear, now she can gather all the necessary records and fill out the paperwork better than I could.

She also said being denied is almost automatic. She's seen people that have lost multiple limbs in industrial accidents denied, that it's just the way the system works and not to be discouraged.

Edit* Oh, I forgot to add. She said that she's also seen people claim that they have headaches, without so much as seeing a specialist, and they get their claim processed and approved. That there is almost no rhyme or reason to the way this process is handled.
