Yes, I did (past tense) but now most have been used up to survive or being used as collateral against loans. Don't even want to go down THAT road. I would rather wind up on the street than fight for SSI. Fighting for disability is more than I want to deal with since I am so close to full retirement age. I think my only living relative would take me in before I became homeless.

Do you have too many assets and other income to qualify for SSI?
