I was laid off shortly after my brother died. I sat at home for a year and a half not able to face anything but impending starvation. I had to use a lawyer. I could barely write a check much less navigate my way through SSDI. Sure wish I could have done it because the lawyer just filed on line putting down what I was telling her. I was petrified that it would go to a judge and that would have taken forever with no guarantee. I still think the lawyer got too much but that is what lawyers are good at. No regrets. :)
I don't have to meet with SSDI for three years. If your condition is seen as "not going to improve" you have it as long as needed. It's really not as bad as it seems, it's just that we don't do it everyday.
One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.
