I would like some information on getting disability. I have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. How soon would disability start and How much would I get a month. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, it appears to be possible to qualify to Social Security disability with rheumatoid arthritis.

Here is information on applying for disability benefits :

Your "Personal Statement" will give an estimate of your monthly disability payment.

Generally, you need 40 credits, 20 of which were earned in the last 10 years ending with the year you become disabled. However, younger workers may qualify with fewer credits.

For example, if your disability began before age 24, you may qualify if you have 6 credits earned in the 3-year period ending when your disability starts.

In 2011, for example, you earn one credit for each $1,120 of wages or self-employment income. When you've earned $4,480, you've earned your four credits for the year.

Yes, it may be possible to qualify for Social Security disability.

RSDS/CRPS constitutes a medically determinable impairment when it is documented by appropriate medical signs, symptoms, and laboratory findings, as discussed above. RSDS/CRPS may be the basis for a finding of "disability." Disability may not be established on the basis of an individual’s statement of symptoms alone.

Note there is a five-month waiting period before benefits can begin.
