DISABILITY BENEFITS EXPERIENCE

I’m in the process of applying for disability benefits. What was your experience like? How long did it take for approval? What was the set back that caused your denial? What tips do you have? I am currently in phase 3 of 5. They sent me an “Activities of Daily Living Questionnaire”

Does anyone have a physical job? I walk a lot daily. By the end of the day my spasticity is so bad I can barely move, forget walking… I just want to melt into my recliner when I get home. My family gets so frustrated that I don’t cook dinner enough. They just don’t understand the severity of my pain even when I try to explain it to them. Living with MS is frustrating! No one understands the pain we go through.

lately i just haven’t been ok, im fighting other battles besides MS & i just want to hide under a rock. it’s hard finding a decent job, hard getting approved for disability or housing. HARD to find housing … im just tired & overwhelmed & the more i talk about it, its like my MS starts wit the tingling in my cheek, can no longer get my words out … i just know im tired & the fact i no longer have my mom just makes me feel worse… 😔😔😔😔
