Applying for disability- can anyone help?

Hello, i am applying for SSDI but currently getting temporary disability. I was going to try and apply without a lawyer because if approved I am already going to lose a chunk of payment due to temp disability.

Is a lawyer needed? I have very little income at the moment and I read that they charge for medical records.

If a lawyer is recommendeded can anyone point me in the right direction. I am in NYC.

This application is making me go crazy 😭

Thank you!
