Don't draw money from retirement to pay medical bills. File for Medicaid. Go on welfare, food for food stamps. Go to the county and City for Assistance. You just can't wait for SSDI, you have to be proactive.

Waiting on SSDI is very devastating. I have not had any kind of income coming into my home since November 2016. I have had to rely on Ppl to pay my bills for me. It's a shame that Ppl with a sickness like this can't get immediate SSDI, I c drug users taking their checks and buying dope. The government system really sucks. I'm at the point to where I'm ready to withdraw my retirement out of my SERS account so that I can get these medical bills paid.

That's the sad thing...I do have an attorney. It's been 2 1/2 years since first denial and requested a hearing May 2016...Still waiting

I would suggest seeing an attorney who specializes in SS and SSDI .

It was a surgery to remove a cyst on my larynx. I'm hoping it does last awhile. I start a new "temp" job next week. Waiting on SSDI has completely devastated us.
