Social Security Disability

[Guest guest]

How do you live on your own on social security disability? I've

applied and been denied twice and had a hearing in August, but I don't

see how anyone can live on their own. I'm not putting it down, I know

that there are those that need it, that I'm one of those, but I have

to wonder. Right now I'm living with my parents and much as I love

them I do not want to. I'm 49 years old. Most of my stuff is in

storage and my cat is being taken care of by a friend of the family.

Unfortunately, the friend doesn't live where I can stop by and see my

cat, but that's besides the point. Seriously, how does anyone live on

their own on social security disablity? I know people on social

security disability that don't get much in the way of food stamps and

food stamps doesn't cover household cleaning goods, personal hygiene,

laundry detergent, etc. And how do you take care of household bills?

I almost hope I don't win my case, and can stay on long term

disability until I can go through voc. rehab or go to school.

I'm sorry for going on and on, but I'm worried and I would like to

move out on my own.
