I just recently have been awarded disability, and for some reason I feel guilty about it and I've worked for 35 years and paid taxes so I don't know why I feel this way. My doctor and therapist both agreed that I didn't need to be working.
As far as how to qualify, I just filled out the paperwork and filed. My husband, doctor and therapist had to fill out paperwork, too. I was surprised that I wasn't turned down because I have read on here how hard it is to qualify, but mine went through.
I wish you luck and don't do like me and feel guilty. It's something you have earned.
