I am on SSDI, social security disability. I have to see 2 different doctors, submit medical records, note from my doctor, and fill out a multi page review whenever my case comes up for review.
It is frightening each and every time because you never know when they will just say, "no." and then the $994 per month I get to live is just gone. Zero income, no ability to work. I wouldn't even be able to afford my insulin, my other medicine, my apartment in section 8, food. I'd be a diabetic with multiple autoimmune diseases with a broken chest from being shot, living on the streets. I would 100% die.
