i have not been able to work for just over 2years now after having 2 ops on my spine. I receive incap benefit but was wondering if i am able to claim any sort of disability benefit? I also have a 4year old to look after on my own.
Screw 'em if they can't take a joke
Tracy, sorry about your back. Will it ever get better? If you paid into social security, you should contact your local office or call the 800 number. I would urge you not to wait as you have to have so many hours of working within a certain period of time to be eligible to file. They will help you with what you need to do. If you are not approved at first, it is worth it to get an attorney. Several of my friends have had to do just that and they did not lose on appeal. Take care and God Bless.
Got an answer for Tracy? Would you like to comment on the posted answers, or vote for the one which you think is the best?
