Yes u can get disability with cops. It's a breathing disorder that isn't curable. It's a life long illness that get worse over time.

Yes , took six months from the date of last employment though. I just went and applied myself and they approved it in about six weeks. I didn’t use a lawyer.
I am 60 years old at the end of the month though. I heard that helps. They went by one breathing test.
Good luck
