Hi, it's Farzaneh, I am 61 yo and I was diagnosed with ALS in Jan 2020. I am lucky to have my husband as caregiver, as I need help with all daily activities.
I worked all my life as IT LAN administrator and obtained the 40 credit to get medicare, though I became a homewife when my son was born in 2004.
I applied to get Medicare through SS disability, but my application was denied base on the fact that I have not worked in the past 10 years, with my last year of working being 2004. My ALS is progressing fast and it is unlikely that I will reach the 65 yo mark. I would even love to have just medicare without SS benefit, if there were a way..
I plan to apply for an appeal but:
Does anyone has suggestion on what I should write for a successfull appeal?
Thanks for your answers
