It took two years but today it arrived in the mailbox. My social security disability insurance not SSI. Which leaves me at about half of my regular expected salary I can live on that. What I'm sad over is the classification: "Improvement not expected" and likely to end in death.

Not when you've been walking out of hospice and are one of the very few people with a rare condition in living long past your death date. Otherwise yes :-)

Oh continue to expect to wait mine lasted longer than that to the point I was living out of my car for a while. They were very good to me but they are incredibly understaffed at the Social Security Administration and can't even get injured soldiers benefits in a timely fashion.

the complexity of this set of systems boggles my mind. as mom loses all her coverage (that it took 15 years to get) i am a bit flummoxed at how _anyone_ is expected to manage the paperwork & mental strain, especially the infirm and those living with chronic pain.

And it can hit us all at once when we reach a certain age we start losing people simply by Nature's realities of life and death. That we don't prepare each other for it or talk honestly about it with bothers me quite a bit and I believe could be useful in these passages.
