For another, SSDI, the I in it, is insurance and is generally available to those who have paid into the system by working a minimum of 40 periods which equals 10 years albeit not consecutively. You are essentially saying that vocational disability services are available only to those who have already worked a minimum of 10 years. It is an absurd proposition.
ADA mandates a variety of disability services on campus, too, and they do not depend at all on the receipt of SSDI and have much laxer criteria. Don't you know that?
I am surprised you nonchalantly question the advice that Divine has been continuously providing while you know that she works for vocational disability services and knows what she is talking about. But maybe you have not read countless posts on Jesyka's threads.
What you are saying, for jesyka to gain financial independence from her husband, is wistful thinking. Again, have you read those countless posts that paint the complete picture? |
I was not aware of all if this. I don’t know much about disability other than it’s difficult to get on.
I heard that most people are denied the first time. I was reluctant to try as I thought it’d be a waste of time.
I misunderstood what I needed to qualify for it. Don’t assume that I know these things.
I wasn’t aware that Divine is an expert in this field. I have a bad memory so don’t expect me to remember everything.
Especially from weeks or months ago. My memory is very bad, so please give me a break.
I forget most things that I don’t write down. I think my short term memory is damaged.
I’ll write this down now, look into disability. I’m sure it’ll be another dead end though. I’d have to jump through countless hoops & probably still get denied. Most people do. It takes about a year & a second attempt to get on it I heard. Ugh!
I’ll look into this & the vocational training soon. As I said before, I wasn’t aware that I was expected to look into things immediately.
I’m still sick, so I’ll wait until I get better to look into these things.
If my procrastination annoys you this much, then just stop responding to my posts please.
I just responded to Divine. I DID call that place & I was right, it was a waste of my time!
I was told that I needed to be referred to the San Andreas clinic & that I’d need to have a developmental disability like autism & that I’d need to have been diagnosed with autism or some other condition.
I knew that would be a waste of time.
I’m crying & about to effin give up all hope!!!!
I keep annoying people who don’t understand how hard I try to help myself!
I’m just seen as someone who does ‘nothing’ which isn’t true. I obviously got a job recently that didn’t work out. I worked when I was coughing a lot too. I put uo with abusive coworkers & supervisors too for weeks before quitting.
How is that NOT doing anything?
I don’t understand that as I have obviously worked hard to find a place to get free & low cost help & niw this!
I’m sure that I’ll get rejected for disability too.
Most places can’t or don’t want to help me. I obviously don’t qualify for any help at all.
I couldn’t even get a referral from that place to other places that could help me.
