A person can also submit an application, if he can still be employed in some fashion but will have an income below what the Social Security Administration calls "substantial gainful activity" (currently just below $1000 pre tax monthly). You will not be eligible if your income will be above the SSA limit or your condition will not keep you from working for at least a year. A social security attorney can advise you, if you have any concerns or confusion about qualifying for benefits.

If your physician is not willing to provide a statement or does not believe you should be submitting an application for benefits, it will be extremely damaging to your case.
