[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 214869, member: 3184"] How long has your husband worked for? If he has worked for many years, he would probably be eligible for social security disability. If he has not then he may be eligible for ssi, but your income would play into that. With ssd, your income does not matter. We just applied for ssd for my husband, due to chronic pain and BiPolar (BP) II. It is a crazy process, and husband finally just made an appointment and went down to the social security office. I think it took about 2-3 hrs. They have an online app, but it is nuts as it asks for all the doctors and clinics you have seen, the first time you saw them, all the hospitals and clinics you went to, your prescriptions, etc. I know that husband took a list of his medications, and a list of his docs (past and present) with address and phone numbers and clinics and hospitals with the same. We filed for husband 2.5 yrs ago and he was denied, but he did not have the mental health diagnosis then,(though he had had the condition) so now maybe we have a better chance. Good luck, and like wynter said be persistent. Dammit Janet had hard time getting her disability, and did end up getting an attorney if I remember right. [/QUOTE]
