I did receive a slight increase from my dissability check. $4 more per month. I have not gotten a $250 this year. Last year there was one. I hope there is another as the cost of living is sure going up. I can't believe how little most people get to live on, even though they worked many years. I for one live without home insurance of any kind on the gulf coast. When I applied for my benefits, I really thought it would be enough to have a life on, but it isn't. ginnie
