[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5197580, member: 24302"] If I had insurance someone would pay for it. If I had Medicare someone would pay for it. So yeah, they're going to get the best deal possible rather than take my little bit every month. I've obviously looked into disability much more than you. Most people are initially denied. Usually takes a lawyer and a lot of hoops to jump through and a good deal of time, as in one to two years. Takes medical records. Which means insurance and a lot of doctor's visits for documentation. I never said it was up to me whether what I have qualifies or not. Look it up. Diabetes and/or heart disease doesn't automatically qualify you for disability. If it did the system would've bankrupted long ago. It takes a progression of the disease to a point they deem you can't do the work you normally do and may not be suited for other kinds of work. Plenty of people with both conditions take meds and work. Those that get it right away almost always have limited time left. Too ill to work. $600,000....lol. [/QUOTE]
