Hi, all!

It seems like I read somewhere that there is a message board regarding the ins and outs of filing for disability. Can someone please give me that address? Looks like the time has come for me...

Thanks, as usual, for your input!

As always, Molly, thank you!

I had a doctor's appointment today, and he said it would be a good idea. I'm very glad to have the references you provided.

Sudie,as usual Molly has given you some good advice. I so agree with Molly about the stress envolved. I have been on disability for over 3 yrs now. It took some convincing for me to decide to go for it. When the time came my Dr was very willing to work with me and I was awarded the disability on my first try. It took 6 months but went back 2 yrs. For me it was truely a blessing as we had lost our health ins. After 6 months you automatically go on medicare.Looking back I wish now I had applied sooner. Good luck
