If you are the one who have applied for Social Security Disability, then you should know that you're due for a very long wait. It is really unfortunate to know that those people who urgently need assistance-disabled Americans--are left without help.
The good news is that we have got a lot of tips that can help you get what you want while you wait.
The first tip would be to take help from “friends and relatives.”
They are the ones who know you very well, understand your condition, and are always there to help.
You must check with them after you have applied for disability, but only when you need help. Let them know about your long wait, and tell them that you are planning to act in the best possible way in order to survive financially. Your next step would be to ask them whether you can count on them for support or not. They may be willing to help you at a given period of time, and then you will know where you actually stand.
If you are facing any kind of problem in terms of paying your doctor bills, Don't ever stop going to a doctor. Your disability claim will only trust those medical records. So don't ever stop visiting the doctor. What you can do is
that you can look into state health assistance, or even go for those free health clinics at the County Health Department building, is the clause is applicable.
You can even consult your doctor about all kinds of possibilities of a payment plan.
If you have outstanding hospital bills, then you must talk and negotiate with the billing department. They must know that you are applying for disability. You must also see if they will accept a comparatively low amount or if they can further postpone the collections for sometime.
If you have following kind of financial condition (even one factor):
1)You will very soon become homeless,
2)You are not able to afford medications that you need to sustain life
3)Your physical condition is becoming life-threating day by day
If you are suffering from even any one of the above conditions, then it is recommended that you should contact Social Security.
They will surely demand a solid proof of your situation. If you are about to lose your grip on electricity supply or have a combination of problems that are related to the above conditions, then you should surely contact Social Security. You must contact them and ask them whether your specific situation would help you qualify for “dire need.”
