Anyone experienced with filing for disability?

[ManitouDan]

I was told by a lawyer 2 years ago he would take my case , but chose to keep working part time . Considering leaving the work force and filing . So is having a lawyer represent you necessary? Is it worth whatever % or fee they charge ? Is it too complicated to file on your own ? Been told it take 6 months to get a reply or 18 months ?? And you must quit working or you have no chance to be granted disability. So I’d be a while without any income . I just know people complain about the system , but it’s an unknown to me .. thanks

My sister did her own. She was turned down twice and got it on her third try. She should have got it the first time, but from what I have heard is they always turn you down the first time
