Hi moonstar,

Life is so much better with a little income coming in. I thought I was never gonna win, and wanted to give up sooo bad. But realize that giving up will only hurt me, not them. So I kept at it, and would have kept at it as long as it took.

Keep fightin!! There really is a light at the end of the tunnel even though you feel like it might be a million miles away.

Connus I am still waiting on the ssdi part of the backpay also. They are deducting the state disability I received back in 02/03. Even though they sent me an award letter that shows all of the deductions, and how much the backpay will be. They say they will send me another letter explaining in more detail, and will be followed by the actual backpay. I was kinda hopin they would get it to me by christmas, but I will just celebrate christmas, and every other thing needing celebrating when it finally arrives.

Good luck to all, keep at it, dont give up!!

Hope everyone has a merry christmas!
