I am so glad that you were able to eventually get your wife covered and not lose everything in the process. I think it’s ridiculous that one must fight the government for benefits that you’ve paid in to receive. I mean it’s well known that you will be denied the first time you apply for SS Benefits. Or at least VERY FEW receive benefits on an initial application. And then IF you get approved, more than likely you’ll be waiting another couple of years to be able to use it. That’s insane! And to add insult to injury, after the first couple of years you’ll be forced to requalify. Good grief! This was to my point of having to fight for everything, it seems.
