I'm glad you got it! It makes life SO much easier to have money coming in, even though it's not a lot. And in a couple of years you'll get Medicare, which makes doctor visits and buying meds a lot easier on the pocketbook.

This is going to make life so much easier. The past two years have been really rough with how much I've been in the hospital and how much trouble I was having working in general. We already get insurance through our state, so meds and doctor visits are covered, which also helps so much because we have a lot of money in collections right now from doctor visits/hospitalizations and at least we're not going to be accumulating more.

This is such good news!

And the amount I'm going to be getting isn't too much less than what I was making while working.
