I’m always worried that I’ll lose my disability benefits. I don’t know what I would do then. I don’t want to become a financial burden to my relatives.
I get reviewed every now and then and have been on disability for over 10 years now.
Anybody else experiencing the same worry?
Yes I worry as well. 
As a worry, its always lurking in the back of my mind.
I’m always freaked out about it. It’s a constant fear of mine. I’m truly unable to work right now so I desperately need the money, even though it’s only $800/month.
Yes im worried about it too. I just had another hearing because my lawyer said i should appeal my original decision since it was only partially favorable and they could make an entirely new decision and that makes me nervous but its unlikely theyll take away my disability
I’ve never had a worry about my benefits.
Yes I do. I will only get it for about 1-2 years. Hence I keep pushing myself to work. I don’t get enough.
Currently rent takes half of it. That leaves me with about $300 a month. I can make it last, but I was told that it still wouldn’t last the month even at $12 a day spending…they are going to help me manage and budget the money here. It’s difficult for me to have the people who work here manage and become payees as soon as I’ve been rewarded for it, even though I didn’t need a payee according to SSI. It’s voluntary, so I volunteered them and signed a paper because I can’t live here unless I do.
İ don t get disability benefits but i m working at disability position at education ministry and i m worried about lose that position.its hard
I keep thinking popular songs have meaning so I can have my benefits.
I have been getting better since I moved here. then they added a new medication, and it threw me for a loop. People here advised to keep taking it and adjust; but I dont want to get trapped in the matrix. Then I thought, well everything traps you in the matrix if we live in the matrix. ha
Ive been on disability for my mental health for the past 11 years. I get reviewed every 3 years, so next year is my next review. Im always terrified of losing it. I want to get better but i dont want to lose my benefits. Its a hard line to walk.
If I were able to work it wouldn’t be a big deal to lose benefits.
But I feel unfit to work so it would be an issue.
reviews used to annoy me but not scare me…I always said the same things on my reiview, can’t stay still…can’t focus or read. can’t work…my last review was a few years ago and now I’m almost social security age for senior to receive ss instead of ssdi so I guess they gave up.
@Jonathan2 yes I do worry about the government taking away my disability payments. I actually sometimes fear and think they are actively trying to take them away from me and that they are monitoring me and spying on me and even more. People have told me this is part of my paranoia, though.
I just got reviewed. It was a simple 7 question form. They sent me a response saying they are not going to further review me and to contact them if anything changes. My payments come in my dads name and I live with him and no spouse or work. I am trying to improve and maybe break this dependence on disability. My dad is trying to help. I am in a fragile but hopeful situation.
I worry usually but I just got a questionnaire and after I turned it in the SS Admin sent me a letter saying they didn’t need to review me at this time. I think it’s because of my response to the questions about what appointments and hospitalizations I had. They said to add additional paper as needed. I attached 3 sheets of papers with all my appointments and had a recent hospitalization. So for right now, I’m not worried.
I used to worry, but not anymore.
I feel like I could go out and make my way on the street. With SNAP benefits it wouldn’t be bad, but I don’t need to be like that. I need to stay put.
I worry. 151515
