Sad to say it's best if you are not working. When I filed I was out of work collecting unemployment and looking for work cause I needed money to pay bills & eat. Then my unemployment ran out and had no money coming in except my wife's earnings, which was not enough, so the juggling began. I was awarded SSD but did not get any monies back dated to my File Date and they do not pay for the first 6 months, you have to be declared disabled by SSD for 6 months before they start paying. The choice is yours to work or not, I did use a Lawyer and they basically told me that I had to do what I had to do to live. Good Luck!

Consult a disability attorney. They will guide you through the process.

I live in Florida. My attorney says no more than 20 hours a week & can't make more than $1000.00 a month

Oops... I am not dumping infusions, I am on simponi infusions. Darn fingers not cooperating... Again!!💗

I live in Canada so not sure what ssd is. We have tax benefit we can apply for if approved by your doctor and it does not affect your employment. I can certainly relate to your pain and swelling as I too suffer a lot on those areas. I am on mtx and dumping infusions which has made a difference. I wish you well , praying for you and don't give up. It took over a year for me to get some relief!
