  • I’m curious about some information my lady friend received last fall from her local Social Security office.


  • My father passed away three years ago.


  • I am on Social Security Disability Insurance. I have bad legs and back problems plus extreme pain. It was work related.


  • I am 50 years old and was recently diagnosed with emphysema and pleurisy.


  • I am 43 and have secondary glaucoma and traumatic cataracts with very low eyesight. It is very hard to get any help from the Social Security office.


  • In the future, will older workers experience more years of disability?


  • Have there been any changes regarding Social Security Disability Insurance benefits and investing? Is it still not considered earned income?


  • I am anticipating going on disability. I am on numerous medications. How do I get them covered or is there a prescription plan to help/pay for these?


  • My mother has been drawing SSI for a while now and we get child support which is not much for my brother, 16 and me, 19.


  • Does my dependant child living with my ex-wife, receiving a check from my SS account number, affect the amount of my disability benefit?
