If you have never worked, you are not eligible for Social Secuirty Disability on your own record. Since you are over 50, if you are an widow you might or might not be eligible under your husband's record.

There is another program, Supplemental Security Income, that might be available for you. To qualify for that program you must show that you are disabled and have low income and resources.

Proving disability might turn on what kind of work skills and education you have; but if you can show that you are limited to sedentary work, at age 50 your chances improve.

I suggest you sit down and talk with an attorney.
