Working Poor

with many medical issues but she doesn't look too bad.

She applied for disability and after getting a lawyer and a few years she was finally approved. The judge was very disgusted with the system that she had been put thru the wringer for so long.

She applied for assistance which in this state if you didn't have children was almost impossible to get, she asked the caseworker how they expected people to live without help and the answer was "we don't". Makes you wonder how they would handle things if they were in the same situation.

She finally got SS but they doled out the money like it was coming out of their pockets, my husband got disability and luckily we weren't treated this way but that was back in the 80's and even under Reagan they were more respectable.
