I'm getting a lot of mixed messages, different stories, and need some help from those who have experience. Progression is picking up speed and dh was recently let go from his job, etc. etc. All of that is too long to go into.
It is my understanding that with the ALS diagnosis he would be approved quickly for SSDI. His doctor, who he had a visit with yesterday, will support him 100%, anything he needed to go out on SSDI but DH is still milling around with the idea (pros and cons, worried about boredom at home, etc.)
Do ALS patients still have the 5-6 month wait?
How does the supplemental income work if there is a wait?
Can DH work part time (limited income) and still draw SSDI?
I'm sure I'll think of more but that's what's swirling in my head at the moment.
Thanks
Ashley
