I applied for SocialSecurity Benifits since i can not afford all these scripts and MRI's w Medicaid. Not even able to get the rebif yet, which i NEED. Will they approve me for that, since i am not at all able to work?
It's very difficult to get SSDI, unfortunately. It's even harder now with all the state and federal budget cuts. What I recommend is to hire an SSDI lawyer. They don't get paid until you're approved for disability.
I don't know if you will be approved or not but there is a two year wait for Medicare after you begin receiving it. Sometimes they do back date it. I waited only a year.
If you are dx with MS, trust me...go to their website and get their number. Ask the operator there for someone in financial assistance. They have a program that offers the best assistance for those in financial need. There are two kinds of assistance programs...one there is no need for any financial forms to be filled out. They make sure to keep your cost at thirty or forty dollars (I don't remember the exact amount) per month. The other requires you to fill out financial forms...If you are in need you will be approved and they move quickly.
