this week i received a letter from social security stating they determined me to have become medically disabled on 7/1/06.
this means
1. i get a back pay check anywhere from about $5000 to $13000 depending on what they decide about my work history, which is an awesome thing considering i need to get a new car anyway and
2. i will be getting anywhere from $400 to $1200 a month (again depending on what they decide about my work history) in disability payments and
3. i don't know how soon i will get these payments so for right now i am still in need of assistance.
but it's great news for me! and yes i'm "better" than i was before but i still don't think i'm in a position to be working full time or even part time really (i've tried it twice and it didnt work out) so i'm thinking i can handle a job maybe 2 nights a week 10 hours or something like that, but my main focus has to be on my recovery right now (in case you all didn't know i'm currently diagnosed with ocd and bipolar disorder and am a recovering [70 days clean!] drug addict/alcoholic.)
so the disability payments are going to come in really helpful.
thanks for all your support!
