What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? VA
My mother-in-law wants to apply for disability benefits. She is a housekeeper for a company that services apartment buildings for the military. She has severe osteoporosis and the only reason she is still working is because she cannot afford to quit working or she'll loose her house. She can barely walk and it's a daily struggle for her that causes her to have to take time off quite often because of the pain that she suffers in her feet. He doctor and the family believe that she would be able to qualify for disability benefits, but I read online that you cannot receive benefits if you are still working. Is this correct? Would she have to quit her job first before she can be approved for benefits?
