My boyfriend's mom gets disability as well as other assistance and from what I know, she does ok. Like a lot of people, sometimes she lives paycheck to paycheck. She was living in low income housing for the longest time but now she lives in a relative's house. She got low income housing through the county/section 8. She also gets food stamps and other assistance. When she was working, she worked only part time so that she still qualified for assistance...She gets help from welfare for utility bills, and other such things. Everyone I know who is on assistance gets multiple help from the county. It can be done, you just need to know what options are available to you and take advantage of it...
