Anxiety Depression

How much would social security disability pay for anxiety/depression?
I’ve had anxiety/depression for 6 or 7 years now, i’ve done counseling, medication, and i’m homebound. I’ve never had a real job accept 1 that lasted a month.. I can’t get a job because of my social phobia, i have no friends and i can’t talk to people over the phone. My mom doesn’t know anything about social security, how much would they pay and would it be based off of how much my mom gets payed? Is there anything else i need to know about social security?
I am on social security disability (SSD) for major depression. I live in New York City, and here it is very difficult to get disability without a lawyer. Otherwise, it might take years to get accepted. The only good news is that lawyers can’t charge you a penny unless you win your case (at least in NYS).
How much SSD pays depends on how much you have worked and paid in your yearly taxes. I get about $900 a month on SSD. The more you worked and got paid over the years, the higher your SSD would be. I don’t think your mom’s income would count to your SSD.
You said you worked only for one month. To the best of my knowledge, this presents a major problem to get SSD. As far as I know, you would qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) which generally pays less than SSD. The following links should give you some info. http://www.ssa.gov/ssi/ and http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/11000.html
Here are a few more sites that may help. I know you said you have trouble talking over the phone. However, your best bet is to find the toll-free numbers on the links and ask for information. If you can’t do that, maybe your mom can.

One last thing: You said you tried medication. Unfortunately, it can take a lot of trial and error to find the right medication. Make sure you find a really good psychiatrist, who knows much more about psychiatric meds than a regular doctor. It took a while to find the right combination of meds to help me with my depression. I hope things work out for you.
