I found out today that because I was a stay at home mom for 22 years I dont qualify for disability payments. I'm about to be divorced, cant work a living wage job and have 4 disabilities per the ssdi list. This really sucks.

You won't qualify for ssdi but apply for ssi if you have not done so. Supplemental Security Income

You should qualify for alimony based on the years of marriage. Do you have children under 18? If so you will also be getting child support. File for SSI asap.
Im sorry your going through all this. Welcome to PC

Don't feel bad about not getting disability. I worked for 23 years full time and pulled a second job for 4-5 of those years. As I wait for a hearing, I truly feel I won't get it either. Heck, soldiers with body parts missing can't even get it.
There's always more than one way to skin a cat. I have been fighting the urge to start a life of crime, since it seems that's what they want me to do. A man's got to survive, one way or another. I am not recommending you do the same by any means, I'm just expressing where this has me at mentally. As Slick Willy said it best, I feel your pain. You are not the Lone Ranger (alone), as a lot of us here are struggling. Hang tough, this community needs you. |
