People are such assholes to me, just got screamed at because this guy’s card declined. I felt bad for him, but he was just screaming and being a giant asshole. It’s so loud I can’t make any sounds out over the constant beeps of timers, and I’m always startled by the shit.
I really hope I can get on disability
I’m not really sure. The doctors really like me and see how psychosis has eaten at me over the past few years. I’ve had a lot of people here advocate for me at important times. Schizophrenia is a much easier sell for disability, and I’m guessing that’s why they’re offering
Wait, they’re offering you disability benefits?
If so, maybe you should take it!
They’re getting me applied yeah, they think I have a pretty good case to get it. But that’s really up to the state.
If you’re in the US you’ll get turned down the first time. You’ll have to apply a second time to be considered (according to some folks I know with disabilities). I also read, but now can’t find that there was some lawsuit thing about how they were doing that to keep the number of people down. Getting a lawyer also helps (statistical) in getting approved, but most can’t afford that.
A side note, I’d consider custodial work. You are by yourself the whole time.
In the US, you don’t have to pay disability lawyers upfront. They get paid a percentage of any back pay they get you. It’s usually the smart move unless you have some undeniable physical disability. They know the right words to use to make sure you qualify.
For me it really worked out because my lawyer argued I was disabled much farther back than I thought I could. I ended up with much more back pay even though he got 30% of it.
Weird question, but do you get the money or benefits directly?
