Disability

He brought in about $500 a month.

He's gone now and I cannot collect a thing as a disabled widow.

I thought I would be able to collect something as I was married to him for 36 years.

He died indigent with $5.00 in a savings account and that is it.

So, he left me behind with nothing to show for all of the years we were together.

The paperwork they send me is wrong anyway as I went through a load of money last year paying for his care and other things, including $1300+ in taxes!

In the end, it was $500/day for hospice care at a facility in the nearby town.

I worked a full-time job from the age of 19 with a salary of $2.88/hr.

I was dumped after my diagnosis of MS two weeks after I got it which led to ending up blind and in a wheelchair.

I had no choice but to STOP which is what I had to do, STOP.

Going blind is what caused me to throw in the towel as I felt I had no choice as its pretty difficult to work as an office assistant when you cannot see properly.

I am so depressed about this.

Once again I'd gotten my hopes up for nothing.

$23 will barely cover the cost of driving into town and back to do some shopping at the good old Grocery Outlet!
