And if you are applying for SSI , you also need:
- Paycheck stubs, bank records, insurance policies, car registration, burial fund records, and other information about your income and possessions
- Information about your current housing situation

If you do not have and cannot obtain some of this information, do not forgo filing a claim. We can help, or your local Social Security office will be happy to help you collect this information. Again, sooner you file better. Though Social Security may award retroactive benefits, retroactive benefits may only reach back to year before your claim.

There are a billion nerve fibers in your body that are clumped together in bundles called nerves. These nerves travel inside spinal column and exit through openings between vertebrae. After leaving spinal column, nerves separate into smaller and smaller bundles and travel to every nook and cranny in body. The nerves that exit neck are distributed in shoulder, arm and hand. They travel in a giant nerve group called brachial plexus. The nerve can become entrapped in several places between neck and hand.

Without nerves, you would not be able to see, hear, touch, taste, smell, or feel hot, cold, pain and pleasure. Without nerves, you would be completely paralyzed: muscles would not be able to move, your body would not respond to any of your commands, and you would be a prisoner within your own body.
