I have been waiting forever to get Social Security Disability.
I have severe Diabetes, Kidney damage, Neuropathy in both feet and failing vision, along with chronic pain from muscle cramps due to my diabetes. My vision is also slowly failing.
The doctors they send you to are a joke. I've been in and out of the hospital with blood sugars as high as 598. I have been waiting over a year and a half now and am going into the appeals process. Luckily a lawyer has taken my case with no money up front, because the amount of paperwork is overwhemling and I have a hard time comprehending it all. Is there any type of financial assistance available for people like me who have to wait so long? I'm getting food stamps, but no money. I have tons of medical bills and also rent, and utility bills. I have since lost my car, but with my eyesight going that is probably a good thing. I need to find some sort of government program that can offer financial assistance until I finally get on Disability. Anyone have any suggestions at all? Please don't say live with family, because my daughter has 4 kids and is struggling to make ends meet, she cannot afford to support me till I get my disability.
