Yeah, I know it's frustrating and hard to figure out what to do while you're waiting. Unfortunately, the reason we apply for disability is because we CAN'T work ,but at the same time, we sitll need to eat and pay bills--so getting a job seems like something you need to do. But then, SS sees that, and well you know---we end up in a catch22. I've been about two years fighting with this thing. I've wanted to get a job, but then that would mess things up--and I don't even know if I could keep the job.
