[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 280249, member: 1722"] Kat- My father felt much the same way you do when he started receiving disability. But... *I was able to cut the part-time hours I was working as a high-schooler. *We didn't eat mac-n-cheese up to 3x a week for dinner. *We started eating fresh fruits & vegetables again. *We were able to keep the heat above 60F in winter. *We didn't need to choose between paying the car insurance or risking the electric being turned off. *I could answer the telephone without it being a bill collector *We were able to salvage the last few months of my childhood. I know this hurts right now... I watched my father cry for the first time while going through this... but I for one am happy you are approved. You won't get rich off of disabilty but you may finally has a little security. One caution, though, is that you really should talk to a tax specialist about your back payment. Taxes may not have been withheld and you could face a hefty bill next April so you want to know how much to put aside now. [/QUOTE]
