@KasperBlue maybe it would help clarify your situation if you describe how you are surviving financially now. There are many people on this board who are SSDI recipients and who depend on this income. It is not discretionary but vital income to them. There is also a separate forum https://mysupportforums.org/insurance-and-finances/ which is partially dedicated to SSDI and you can peruse it for resources and to read about experiences of fellow sufferers. From how you have been putting off all matters SSDI, it appears that you do not depend on this potential stream of income. Is this a fair description? You worked in the past for, did you say 30 years? You earned your right to SSDI. You paid into the system. The I in SSDI means insurance. It is not government aid. It is insurance payments and you paid taxes, essentially insurance premiums, for your coverage. Now that affliction befell you, you need to leverage resources in order to obtain the coverage for which you paid taxes. I hope this reminder that you paid taxes and are not trying to get governmental assistance for free will prompt you to take action to claim your benefits.
