Re: [epilepsy] Disability

 

You probably aren't eligible for RSDI but possibly for SSI which is different.
>>Does anyone know if I can recieve disability payments from social security ..
Go to the Social Security office (with a book to read while waiting!) 
>>I have not worked in five years and my husbands income is sufficient, but I would like the >>extra income to help cover medical expenses, child care and transportation costs. 
In Minneapolis is the Consumer Credit Counseling Service for practical advice.
>> What programs are available to help the financial burdon of this condition? 
Check with your state dept. of Human Services. .. bring all info about your husband
Go to the Economic building. At worst they would say no.
>>Does my neurologist need to fill out any paperwork?
Probably. Have copies of your diagnoses. Try calling 411 for information too.

Subject: [epilepsy] Disability

I am a stay at home mom with two young kids and diagnosed this year with ep.  Does anyone know if I can recieve disability payments from social security or how I go about it?  I have not worked in five years and my husbands income is sufficient, but I would like the extra income to help cover medical expenses, child care and transportation costs.  What programs are available to help the financial burdon of this condition?  Does my neurologist need to fill out any paperwork?
