Sadly, I am only 22 years old. I recently received notice from my cardiologist that I cannot go back to work due to heart problems. I went to my local SSI office today, and I have an appt. next Friday to fill out the claim. I know people who are perfectly fine and able to work who are on SSI (and receiving $1600+ a month in benefits), and I will be quite ticked off if I cannot receive it for whatever reason!!! According to this, does it sound like I would be eligible? I do have a dependant, and I claim head of household on my taxes (if this makes any difference!)
 
Sorry to hear that, but if you have as serious a health problem as you sound like you do, I would definatelyt think you should qualify for SSI or perhaps SSD (social security disability), Im sure the social work will break it down for you, but if you cant work it really seems the only option, other than workers comp, if you had a previous job and this problem occured during.

Good luck to ya
