SSI is dependent upon income level, including value of assets, and SSDI which I think is what you are referring to (Social Security Disability Insurance) can be applied for by people with Bipolar disorder.

There has to be a record in your life of how it has impacted your ability to work and it usually takes a long time to get approved, if ever. Your doctor has to be on your side and provide a lot of evidence of the severity of your case. It varies state to state too for some reason.


If you really need it and apply don't give up hope with the first rejection; the reject everyone the first attempt. Sometimes you have to get a lawyer involved and have a hearing. It isn't easy.
