I am in a turmoil of feelings right now. Angry, scared and sad. I recent got approved for SSDI for $921 which will go up to $1250 when my dependents get added. I will be eligible for Medicare July of next year. I was real fortunate and my government job gave me $2574 per month in long term disability but it ends now that I got SSDI and a back payment. I am still not well and have days where I weep and can't get out of bed. I need my SSDI safety net and Medicare. If I try and work now I am screwed. If I at least wait until July of next year I can use the Ticket to Work Program and I won't lose Medicare and benefits if I try and work and fail. My wife says what if she gets sick and that her job is stressful too. I guess she does not want to be the sole breadwinner but she has to realize I have serious mental illness and was receiving shock therapy only a year ago. I hope this does not break up our family....

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
