Don and I finally got a precious day off together but it did not start of well. "Again" we had no hot water or heat in -24 degree weather, I have a cold virus and due to an impending snow storm this week we have another week of delay in seeing our only support person by way of the ALS New England chapter.
So we hunkered down for the day filling out Veterans disability forms N.B. if you qualify for VA disability benefits because you have ALS you do not have to be out of a job/not working to receive a benefit however the SSDI is a bit different and can take up to 5 months or more to be processed, good thing is that a lot can now be done online https://secure.ssa.gov/apps6z/iClaim/dib, we will update you about all this boring stuff as we go through all the red tape.
I am an EX caregiver for my husband who had the "NO CURE" disease ALS aka Lou Gehrig's MND disease. I was not a nurse or medically educated, I was thrown into this role because of ALS & I had to learn fast. I am a writer of nothing's unless you care or want to know or be informed about ALS, HOWEVER I DON'T SUGAR COAT SUBJECT'S as ALS is far from sweet. There are also many informative Blogs and helpful links, self knowledge is power, Thank You for visiting.
