Semi-good news! I still haven't heard anything about my social security disability, but I was finally able to get state disability after all. I filed for it in May, but I was initially denied because I was denied ssd/ssi on the federal level. I filed for a hearing, but I talked to a DSHS worker on the phone today, and I don't even have to do a hearing because they decided to approve me after All! They found out the federal disability decision was on appeal, plus I was sent to a couple of doctors who stated that I shouldn't be working. I am only getting 197.00 a month but that is something.

I assume you are in the U.S.A. There social programs in the U.S. are funded at about 20% of what they need to be. In my opinion, a person must do everything possible to survive without resorting to government aid or criminal activity. Both lead to suffering.

Actually, I have done everything I could before "resorting" to the government. If all I wanted to do was just live off the government, I would have applied for disability 35 years ago. I won't go through all the details, but in short, I have been through hell from trying to not have to resort to that.

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