I have never been rejected with this approach. Sometimes they ask for me to fill out another form (sometimes just checking a box or two) and maybe provide a copy of my Med D card or income proof but always they've eventually given me the medication under patient assistance. It's completely worth trying because even if you find the company that doesn't make exceptions it doesn't cost anything to try and you may have good results.

The reason that wont help us is because they use our combined income on SSDI , we are living under poverty level, but they dont care. If we were divorced he could qualify for help regardless of him being on Medicare.. SO shame on us for being a loving married couple,, Like how dare us
This is why the elderly has a climbing rate of divorce after 50+ years of marriage because they can get help..
Pretty screwed up isn't it?? I get so angry and sad over it
