I agree. I applied for Kevin via the social worker at our CC. He had JUST started radiation. We heard back 6 weeks later that he was approved. They called and did a phone interview with him about 2 weeks after we applied. It really was very easy. I was shocked. Had heard so many horror stories.
So yes, Brenda, apply. Do you have a ss at your cc. It works well if it all comes from them. They also just print off all your records and send them along. I just gathered info and she input as I gave her answers.
