GETTING YOUR LIFE BACK

Getting approved for a disability benefit is not really about money.  It's about getting your life back.

Disability can be a great robber.  It can steal more than your money.  It can destroy huge parts of your life.  Think about all the things that can be in jeopardy when you can't work any more:

•  Peace of mind
•  Medical treatment
•  A decent place to live (for many)
•  Enjoyment of life and activities

Of course, restoring some income isn't the full answer to getting your life back.  But it's a good place to start.  Disability benefits can provide good medical care, medicines, specialists to treat pain or depression; and you may be able to simply improve your quality of life.

If you're seemingly at a dead end and don't know where to turn, seek out a reputable attorney or disability advocate for a free consultation.  Stop groping in the dark.  Let someone with experience try to help you.  If you are not successful, it won't cost you anything.
