[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 685343, member: 1963"] OK. Not to worry SWOT. I went back and looked at the post in question, and I could've done a much better job of clarifying my point. SSDI is hard to get, especially if you are dealing with MH issues. It took me three tries, with the help of a lawyer, and i had to go before a judge and team of evaluators. husband got his on the first try, but he was diagnosed with a terminal illness. He'd been drawing military disability since the time of his discharge as he was 100% disabled as regarding his ability to be a soldier. That had no bearing on his ability to work in the civilian world. He worked long enough to get his quarters in before becoming too ill, but wound up drawing on my SS as my earnings were higher. I didn't become disabled until 2008. My one beef about it is that I wish Medicare paid the same benefits that Medicaid does, ie: for dental and vision, and the very low medication copays. The only reason I can cope with Medicare is that I've got ChampVA medical coverage to handle drugs and what Medicare doesn't cover. [/QUOTE]
