Social Security does have a 12 month durational requirement, which requires the disability **be expected** to last 12 months. http://www.socialsecurityinsider.com/2009/05/you-have-to-be-disabled-for-12-months-the-durational-requirement/ However, an individual **does not** have to be out of work for 12 months before they apply. To answer your question, yes, you can apply. Hi there.

However, hearings are often scheduled every 45-60 minutes so it is often best to be very selective about who a claimant wants to testify. I will sometimes have one additional witness particularly on cases involving mental health issues. If there are additional statements I want included, I usually have those witnesses provide written statements that can be included into the record. It is also polite to let the judge know in advance who will be providing testimony. Usually the judge will allow it.
