My disabilities have gotten worse not better, but because I'm no longer receiving the ssi they figure I can work. Told them it was because of income and so I reapplied but it'll be another 5 months or so before decision is made whether I qualify based on income.
Thank you for clarifying. SSI is a bit different than disability (SSDI), that's where I was confused.

There is a separate VR division in Maine, you can find it on the Maine gov site. I am receiving good leads/help from my VRC. I am not able to do the job I have been doing my whole life and they are helping me with training to do something else that accommodates my disabilities. Worth a try.

I understand the frustration with medicaid/mainecare. It took a few months for me to get approved as well. Then, it took from Nov to Feb before I actually was seen by a doctor. ACA really messed with the system.

Crossing my fingers for you.
