I do think the government figures many people who are disabled and applying for SSDI can and will work when forced with dire financial consequences like homelessness.
You need to ask your siblings for help if you haven't. If they say no (or already have) than you need to exhaust whatever resources are available to you locally. Perhaps one would allow you to move in with them? Is it embarrassing and humbling for someone that has always been self reliant? Yes. But you have to do, what you have to do, to survive.
I started the Catch 22 thread awhile back for those facing situations like yours. There are resources out there, you just need to hunt them down.

I think you'll find that its your experience thats the minority experience, I'm fairly comfortable concluding that the majority will have their families turn them out as losses mount! Its simply human nature, As for your suggestions regarding who, when, where, and how to seek out aid, if you don't hear from your family with offers of support following the diagnosis & eventual surgery to remove an aggressive, invasive malignancy, there's no point in attempting to beg them for it, you have been thrown away....
