"Disability" is for adults who have a work history and cannot work at
present due to a medical condition...
Here are YOUR options...you may be able to get help from Social Security

but keep in mind, SSI/SocSec always turns people down initially... its
weeds out the weaklings according to gov't logi and thus they cut less
checks.
