I am old enough to remember Sargeant Phil Esterhaus' trademark phrase on Hill Street Blues: "Let's be careful out there." You should take it to heart.

There is a lot of information regarding Social Security disability available online. Some of it is wrong. Some of it is general in nature, like this site.

You have to be careful about applying law and regulations to the unique facts of your particular case. That's what lawyers do. That is what we learned to do in law school. It is not always apparent how certain facts affect a disability case (or any case). It takes experience and judgement. That is one reason why there is a disclaimer on this site.

Searching for information online can be beneficial to your claim. But please talk with a lawyer, too. There is no attorney fee unless your claim is granted (read more about attorney fees).
