Guest guest Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Since the topic of disability recently came up I thought I would ask... How long did you wait from being diagnosed before seeking disability? It has been 5 years for me. Unfortunetly for me, I think I would have a harder time qualifying because I am actually just short the required amount of credits to qualify for benefits based on my work history. I'm 34 and have been a stay at home mom for about 10 yrs now. I kinda feel stuck because now theres no way I feel I could go back to work full time...i have tried a few part time jobs over the years and just see it not realistic to think I could suddenly work full time now. So what happens for a person like me, I paid in..some...but now can't even work to get the 2 additional credits I need. Can I still qualify? I kinda feel that because I chose to be a stay at home mom, and came down with ra during that time that i've screwed my chances of ever qualifying for disability when I know Im going to need them at some point.
