What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
Ok - so I really have not been able to work since 1999.
I have had injuries from several Auto Accidents and several Serious Slip and Falls.
I can't sit for any length of time - I cannot stand for even 5 minutes in one place, I can't walk any distance... shopping is a killer.
With all my back problems (Herniated Disks and Bulging Disks and Osteo-arthritis and other disk degenerative disease and so forth... I do not qualify for SS Disability. My 40 year old son lives with me and helps me survive in a cheap apartment. I gave my old car to him, since my back problems worsen if I use the CLUTCH - so I cannot Drive.
Amazing how the people that really need help CANNOT GET IT - yet every drug addict I ran across 7 or 8 years ago (they knew my X and that is why he is my X) and I had spoken to, has some sort of GOVERNMENT CHECK they get by going to a clinic - qualifying for disability and they are MILKING THE SYSTEM for over $1000.00 a month plus food stamps. JUST AMAZING...
I gave up on SSD. I am turning 65 in a month and I will be applying for SSI.
I took my SS early at 62 just to be able to by my personal items that my son doesn't want to buy or can't buy. He too is stretched financially because of me.
My question is... how do they determine how much you can get per month for SSI? I get $352.00 a month for my Social Security.
Every little bit helps.
I am so embarrassed to be so cripple at my age.
Thanks for listening... aalienlady
