Thank you 4 ur answers. I am not eligible 4 SSI, it is based on income & assets,I'm not divorced yet & file income taxes w/spouse who earns 2 much,1st thing SS told me during the application process(2 yrs.ago),even tho we don't share bank accounts or property-he earns 2 much.I need insurance so that's my rock&hard place? [sadly]

I'm very lucky my disability is invisible.

I didn't realize all you are going through. Really is there anything I can do to help?

I will email you shortly

Thank you both! I appreciate all the though and care to taking the time to answer. God bless you both. I guess this isn't a poplar question or concern for most. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Tash Report It

saved by the bell, eh? congratulations! Report It

I won it in only 18 months! It pays to read and do your homework! No lawyer, just knowing what and when to do it, and a little help from Prayers! Tash Report It

Seems like you should be able to get SSI. Do you have a lawyer helping you? I know the lawyers are screening their cases now, seems there is now a limit on how much they can earn so the first thing you do is talk to their screener. If the screener feels you have a good case they will take it to the lawyer.

Lawyers are only taking the cases they feel they have a pretty good chance at winning. I finally went to the VA and so get a pension now, I got fed up with the whole system.
