Thank you Don for listening to me squack. I appreciate the people in this site helping me. It makes you feel that you are not quite so alone in the struggles. Being disabled is hard enough without family horror stories and all the acencies treating you badly. The whole system is really flawed to say it mildly. I was running back and forth between DCF and SS office. Neithor office would look up my information though I requested help. So now I do have an attorney to help me, I had no choice, because nobody would tell me what was happening to my case. Ginnie

Did you write in your complaint about having a mental illness? Have you been diagnosed with a mental illness? It helps your case. It's been appox. 6 months so hopefully you'll hear something soon. It sounds pretty good that you get the ADA transportation, even though you can't use it. It is good for your case though. If you get turned down then I would suggest you get help. Hopefully you will not need that and will get accepted right away. |

Hi legal mania, I had to go back to my attorney to figure this out. When I ran out of money in 09, that made me approved for medicaid through DCF. They change this to SSID this Jan. OK, the problem is I was abiding by the rules of dissability. I was not allowed to work, or earn income above a certain amount, all monies to be reported. All change to be reported, and I was not allowed over $1,000.00 at any time in an account or in my possession. OK so when tax time came around I did not have $2,700.00. I was not allowed to have that much in the first place, and they lowered my food stamps because I had my son pay for my taxes. If nobody paid the taxes, I will loose my home in just three years. I lost my food because my son paid it. I am going nuts with this and I am sure in a short time dealing with this I will become a mental case too. Ha Ha Ha...I will be OK, BP has been lowered, and my doctor is on top of my situation, my case, and the situation my family has put me in. I am in good hands and I want to live, so no stroke or heart attack for me. I didn't loose 65lbs, just to drop...ginnie

Our country is in big trouble when they take away food from a dissabled person who was only following the rules that they themselves put before me. I am feeling shame, shame on these agiencies who use silly rules against those who have real need. When the rules work against each other, that is another issue as well. If one acency has rules, and that don't comply with another, you are out on you butt. This is how I see my current situation. Some things just are not moral,and that is the position I am taking. I lost all that two generations had because of my dissability, now they don't want me to eat either. Ok, I'm up for a bit of a fight...ginnie

I was completely hopeless and helpless when I decided to take on the daunting task of trying to apply for SSDI. Had no clue where to start or what was invloved in the whole process. Besides being a total mess I was tossed out of my home several times because I could barely function at home, let alone hold down a job. When my wife saw that I was actually taking the steps tward getting disability benefits she let me back into my home. I guess it was too much for her to withstand and I was just weighing her down. What hurt the most was that I never imagined that she would want me to leave, ever. But I learned alot about her and her limits and I don't think our relationship will ever be the same again.
Thankfully I was approved with the help of B & B holding my hand throughout the process and my doctor made sure I had what I needed to have a fighting chance of being approved. Don't know what I am still doing here and still married to my wife after the damage was done to our relationship. Trust is a big thing when you are in a relationship and that trust is forever lost. |

Oh dear, it hurt didn't it. Your wife was uable to respond to you in a dissabled state. Two members of my family left my life when I became dissabled. It is a sacred trust that is hurt, because that is what I feel too. I am not sure what makes some people strong for their partners, or what makes them run away from you, shunning your obvious need. People can and are real selfish sometimes. There really is no excuse, it is person failing to have enough compassion, to be a good person in time of need. I hope you find comfort and friends here in this site, I sure have. I am not good at making lemonaid out of lemons in my own life. I come here lately and find information and a good deal of help right here. I hope you can find some comfort too. Ginnie
