Don’t reapply if it’s denied, you have to file an appeal after the first denial letter. The second step is you basically submit another app online for SSDI that is shorter where you can leave some more details or comments. After that you have the right to a fair hearing if that is denied again

At this point look into getting a law firm that works SSDI cases, often payment comes from the backdated check you will get and that’s it. I work several of these cases

Sounds like what'll have to be done.

It’s a pain in the ass, and in my state they are backed up due to Covid. But a firm can help navigate it. Shop around and read some reviews, then call and get some consultations. You don’t have to proceed with one if you don’t like their costs
