Sorry you are disabled. Must be difficult. Most people worked and paid into SSA and yet, people who never worked receive food stamps, $750/mo for a child if you can get Doc to say the kid has ADHD, section 8 housing, Medicaid, etc . But disabled people, vets and the elderly are told their fund is running out of money. Rent, property taxes, food, clothing, water, electricity have all gone up but screw us. Our government has turned its back on us. Disabled15, hope you can find some assistance for 2016.
