please help. . .need advice on SSDI

April 8, 2004

Hi all,

I was in the hospital last week and after coming home and trying to get back in

the old routine I have been struck with the notion of not being able to do all

that I have been doing. Does anyone feel like they have been " knocked down

another peg " after having a major attack? That is how I feel.

Anyhow, I think I have reached by decision about applying for SSDI. I know I

have asked for information in the past, but I want to clear up a couple things

and I hope you all can help me. I was told that you had to have not been

working for 5 months to apply? I also heard that you can apply as long as you

are working and making under $780 per month? Which is true. I think it is so

hard for people to apply and have to go 5 months with no income. I really need

to know if I can still continue working and apply for SSDI if I am making under

$780 per month and then if I am approved I will quit working? Does this make

any sense??

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hope everyone is having a pain free day.

Thoughts and prayers.

T. (ohio)
