Guest guest Posted June 14, 2001 Report Share Posted June 14, 2001 Welcome to the group you will find us l ovable and caring. don't know how I managed before this group. One question to ask if you do not mind.........You said you worked part time and applied for ssi, I thought you were not allowed to work when you applied. Is this true or not. I would think if you worked at all part or even less they would think if you can do that you can work and they would deny you. Anyone who is on disibility know? Thanks. My name is Deana and I am here as well as the rest of the gang if you need to vent. We all do it, it is really good therapy for us.
