This country has turned upside down! So many people struggling to get by. Utilities, food, insurance, cell phones. The simple things are becoming unaffordable. Everytime I go to town it's near 100 bucks! It's crazy because incomes don't budge
It took my 3 denials when I was trying to get SSDI. After that last denial I requested to have a hearing, which is our right. I reached out to a law firm that specialized in these type of actions. They reviewed all of the documentation I had kept dating from diagnosis and current disability impacting my ability to work. The firm took my case. I did not have to provide any money upfront but did sign an agreement that the firm would receive 30% of the settlement. We went before an administrative Judge who reviewed the case. He asked me several guest question about my previous employment. I only had one employer for 20 years. We all was said and done the judge made a bench decision in my favor. He said that the settlement would go back to 2012 when I was first symptomatic. At the end of the day I was awarded $86,000 of back payment and my monthly SSDI of $2870.00 monthly to include Medicare as well. The legal fees were taken from the lump sum payment. I got the rest of the lump sum but I made a mistake and did not request that federal taxes be withheld as well. When I did my taxes that year I actually owed because I did not have taxes withheld. If anyone else ever gets that far with this time consuming lengthy process just remember Uncle Sam wants his cut too.
Hear ya that 50 is now 150 ta keep the kids semi in mid class
@A MyMSTeam Member That's the worst part, it's business! We're not people we're numbers on a spread sheet.
@A MyMSTeam Member The amount the insurance charges vs. what I pay to stock the pharmacy is astounding. Similar to...IV bag costs a $1-2 but the Ins. charges $700. I agree it's getting expensive to just 'breathe' for the month.
Yes depends on where you live. In Canada, I get a disability pension for almost 2K a month, both through the federal and provincial governments. I’m on Ocrevus, which is paid for by the provincial government. I’m in the province of Alberta. I hear horrible stories about what’s happening in the USA and the lack of social supports I feel your pain. You shouldn’t have to live like this . Maybe you need a different president?
All my best, and I’m encouraging you to be your own advocate while you seek assistance? 🙏🥰
