What we'd suggest
Seeing a doctor is the first practical step.
A disability claim is built almost entirely from medical records: what a doctor observed, what they diagnosed, and what they said you can and cannot do. Without that, there is very little for anyone to review. Booking an appointment and asking your doctor to document your limitations in writing is the single most useful thing you can do next — and it costs you nothing to talk through what records you'd need.
