Unfortunately, being able to work part time, even for something as trivial as a fifty dollar music gig, means that you aren't "disabled".

Yep. That was also one of the things that prevented me from doing it.

And of course, the size of your SSI check depends on your last three years' income.

THe US disability system appears to be meant for people who break their neck or something obvious like that, and become immediately, totally, and completely disabled. It seems very poor at handling slow, difficult-to-diagnose, gradually disabling diseases.
