I have seen a couple of references on other threads lately to Social Security Disability. Makes me wonder how many others have been successful in obtaining benefits dring treatment and post-treatment. Even though we felt we had all of our evidence for need (including letters about the cancer and prognosis issues from the ENT and Radiation Oncologist that were hard for me to read) well presented, my husband was denied benefits (he qualified as far as meeting requirements for what had been paid into his account, etc.)

The financial side has been tough - I have had to pretty much take over the complete financial burden, which is big with 2 kids in college.

Just wondering what others experiences were regarding SSDI.

Thanks,
Anita
