About 2 years ago I lost my job because my epilepsy had come back and was worse than ever. I applied for an ADA accomodation and they were willing to work with me on it for about 6 months before deciding I was a burden. Luckily I was immediately approved for SSDI, but due to my young age, had not paid in enough to qualify for more than 880 a month. At first I was also approved for food stamps, but only for $12 a month, and when I got a cost of living increase of $5 I lost that completely, I also did not qualify for state medicaid and my medications ran around 3500 a month as my seizures are becoming progressively worse.
What I am wondering is, am I going to be stuck at this income level, except for cost of living increases the rest of my life? If so there is no way I will be able to survive as to make ends meet I sold off my IRA, 401k, savings account. pickup, and my harley. I now have no assets, 2 pairs of jeans and 4 shirts, and my laptop, nothing else. Even my doctors worry and try to do all they can.
