Lots of countries, including mine ( South Africa ) have such a small allowance its a joke.
Its like 80 dollars a month.
Some countries dont even have disability.
WHat would you do if you didnt have access to a disability grant?
I wish I could be on disability but im forced to work, I have no other option !!
Here in Greece the disability is 300 euros.
They are enough only for my cigarettes
If I couldn’t get on disability or welfare, I would move back in with my parents.
I wouldn’t be happy about moving back to Norway, but if it was what I had to do to survive, I would.
It would also be easier for me to get a job there, as the rules are less strict and the taxes are lower. Maybe I could do a low-stress job like cashiering or something. It would be hard to find one that didn’t require a driver’s license, but I’d be willing to try.
We have to be approved by the government as “worthy to be supported”. People like me look fine on the outside and they just dismiss us. Even if we get grants, it’s only like 300,000won (300 dollars) per month or something. Other people just become gicho-sugupja, which means “basic receivers”. This is even fewer.
I would have to live on the expense of my parents or Apply for other grants (in Belgium anyone that has low income can Apply for a benefit)
I would be with my relatives if there was zero support either my mom apt or my uncle and aunt house
the way it works is, I paid into it my whole life
I was working at age 11
I figure it’s just an early retirement.
I would have been out on the street and dead shortly after.
My husband and I would be homeless without Ssdi 
I’d be homeless or dead.
I live in the U.S., but I don’t consider going on SSDI to be an option for me.
For one, it takes too long to get; the initial decision I’ve been told takes about three months, then if you have to appeal that’s another two years. Even if I could get it on the first try, I have no one who could support me for three months.
There’s also the fact that it’s not a lot of money, considering I’ve never had a high-paying job, even though I have 22 years of work history.
Then there’s also some pressure to work coming from my family, as I know some of them would disown me if I went on disability. Then again I have some family members who think that MI is all BS.
I’d pay fewer taxes.
Yea i know what ya mean.
My mother seems to think mental illness is a joke…
I have to work I have no other choice.
I hate having so much pressure on me.
Is what it is I suppose
I would have to go out And work full time. The thought of doing that scares me I dont think I could make it.
I don’t think I could manage working full time, even if I had disability to fall back on. It’s just too bad. I’d prolly end up homeless. I wish things were better to where I could work and gain money.
The first six years I was sick I didn’t think I was sick at all and I was much worse off than I am now. Never thought I would need to apply for SSDI. Was walked through applying before I got out of the military and didn’t even bother filling it out.
I worked. Couldn’t keep a job very long but mostly I had one.
I have been on SSDI a little more than 4 years now I think. I am going back to work today. I think if you had to with sz you could do it. But that’s my opinion and I have a lot of experience and education and don’t have to worry about having to flip burgers or anything but I could probably do that too if I had to. I cook at home.
I don’t get disability although its possible in the UK I don’t qualify.
Why wouldn’t you qualify @anon80629714?
I have applied @Wave for PIP. I didn’t tick the boxes. Basically they think I can take care of myself.
I can do most of those things. I struggle but not most of the time.
