I have looked into disability, and from what I understand, and I may be wrong, it takes at least a year, even two before a determination is made and benefits paid. I'm not sure how much you can get off of a disability claim. I am afraid I will have to eat dog food if this PN gets bad enough. And I don't think I'm being dramatic. Bruce
Hi Bruce, I hear all the time that it takes a few years to get disability but my brother in law got it on the first try and he was only out of work for a few months. He is a diabetic with neuropathy. He paid someone to help him complete the forms that is familiar with the disability process. They sent it in and he got it. I was amazed. He also got medical assistance. Maybe there is someone in your area who could help you. And in our condition we're intitled to be a litlle dramatic every now and then
