Hi Libby...
I don't know where you're from, but I am in the state of Illinois, USA. I'm on disability, and I receive $731 a month. That's not a lot of money (it just barely covers my rent, in the city of Chicago), and were it not for my mother I would be in deep financial straits. It also took many weeks for this to be approved through "the system." I am certainly not discouraging you from going on disability (it's given me some needed breathing room, and it's not permanent -- I'm actively job-seeking now), but please be aware that you may need some extra help in both the short- and long-term. I wish you well, and please keep us updated, O.K.?
