Hi , anyone on SSD for back problems and how hard is it to get for a 41 yr old

My education is a GED
I can walk and sit for short time but need to do both or I have to much pain. I had 3 surgery's on my spine. To look at me I look fine but I'm not. I try to do stuff and I hurt with pain. I'm taking 15mg percocets and 3omg morphine and 100mg Lyrica for pain. I can walk for about 1 mile then I'm in the most pain ever so I don't do it anymore , I just sit and rott in my home. I'm currently seeking a settlement from workers comp so i can put my wife through college so we can have some sort of income life. My Dr. say's I have perm nerve damage that causes my sciatic nerve to go crazzy and he suggest the spinalcord stimulator to help cope with the pain . Any suggestions ?

Sorry but file not found. You don't know how much my dependants would get, if I were to die they would get $801 but not exceeding $1,953.00 a month. or is this my disability rating from my social security statement. You have no idea ?

Thanks you

Ok here's my statement.
Disability: you have earned enough credits to qualify for benefits. If you become disabled right now (2004) your payment would be $1,053 . Not nearly enough to survive.

Now its says if I die this year they would get $801 a month same as my wife. But it says total family benefits cannot be more than $1,953 a month ?

Is this what I would draw ? Thank you
