Link for SSID Secrets to win appeals ~

Applying for social security disability and SSI benefits, with or without an advocate can be difficult due to how long a claim may take and the high chance of being denied. But those who are denied disability can win benefits by utilizing the appeals process. To increase the chances of winning, applicants should learn about the system and file an appeal when a claim is denied.

  I can relate as I had been earning a wage since I was 11...babysitting, but I was getting paid and have worked ever since...so it is hard to not be able to do it .....we live on my DH's income which is hit and miss as he is self employed...we are lucky in that out house was paid off b4 all this happened.

My DD has to pay off all her student loans as I can not longer help her...but she is doing well for herself so when she can she has helped me out....

One thing u may want to try is to do fund raising...there are sites on FB and others that u can set up for medical and living expenses....

I never had to do it...my DH has found ways to cut back on expenses and I no longer drive so no need for gas ....lunches....so it is a savings....

God does not hate u, he is helping u thru even if u do not feel him.....he would never abandon u in a time of trials.

Keep the faith, and know u r not alone <3 ((hugs))

Thanks.. so if these things take a year.. how do you live until then? Good Lord... we just filed bankruptcy (with well over 50k in medical bills and that is WITH insurance and exhausting our savings to try to prevent it), will be losing the house we are in, my husband is a seasonal worker for the first time ever at his job and will be having to use unemployment for 2 months.. I am overwhelmed. I have worked since I was 15 and have my fancy bachelors in nursing degree I busted my tail to get and never would have thought I would be here right now. I have always worked so hard and feel like a failure now because of all of this. My daughter is a senior in HS.. can't afford any of what she will wants like pictures or anything and now she too is having chiari symptoms and something going on in her abdomen they can't figure out. I'm trying to figure out why God seems to hate me right now when I have done so much to help other people. Sorry for the rant but I am tearing my hair out right now.
