My 17 year old would have to go back to live with their crazy dad. What do people do in this situation? My understanding of the disability time line is that you have to unemployed for a period, apply, wait for another period and possibly get approved. You then wait another two years for health care benefits. Does that sound about right everyone? Yuk
Do you have Long Term Disability (or even Short Term) through your employer? You generally have to apply for SSDI when you receive LTD (at least I did) but it can provide you with some sort of income while you're waiting for SSDI to be approved. I'm not sure what the rules are for Short Term Disability.

I used to have a link to a website for at-home work for the disabled.....I'm going to try and find it now. If I can locate it I'll post it here.
