Lee,
First of all, you need to discuss this with your doctor before you do anything else. (he can help or hurt you later). Then if he agrees you need to apply, call you local SSA office and ask them to send you a package to fill out and make an appointment for a telephone interview.
Fill out the paperwork (all of it!) make 2 copies of everything. Keep one for your records and send other copy to your Congressman with a letter telling him what you're doing and why (explaine how bad CH is to him - if you need help -e-mail me). After your phone interview you have to mail SSA your paperwork (or hand deliver it to make sure it gets there).
