Disabled Recipients of Social Security Fund Face Hefty Benefits Cut

[CountAllVotes]

80. We are in the exact same boat

I bring in a little over $900.00 a month and that hefty $80.00 a month pension. My husband brings in just over $400.00 a month.

I did not marry him for money obviously.

Stupid me?

on this whole charade.

What will happen to those on SSDI that are blind and in wheelchairs? Will they leave us out on the street to simply rot?

The irony of this entire thing is that the big bucks people could care less and yet they are the very first ones to file for benefits if they think they have a shot of getting them and they know how to lie lie lie lie lie real well.


Women don't make as much as a man, esp. during the time I was in the work force (1970s ---> ), hence one reason for the paltry amount of money I receive. How many worked their first job on graveyard shift for $2.88/hr.? You certainly never dared think to ask for more, much less $15.00/hr.!

At that time you never got a raise nor a promotion unless you slept with someone in too many cases, something I would simply not do! So, here I am today wondering if they will STEAL MY (yes MY) disability insurance. It is insurance that every working American pays into in case they become totally disabled as is my unfortunate case. Everyone should be highly concerned about this as it can happen to anyone!

Thanks for nothing is how I feel. This was not in my plans BUT I know of one too many right-wingers collecting hefty pensions that file for SSDI the second they retire out the door and you better believe that this is part of their plan! They bawl like babies and are shocked I tell you, shocked, when they find out that it is not an instant process! FUCK THEM and I am not one to use the "F" word often!

Hang-in there, that is about all I can say!

for all us in this very sad and very pathetic boat that we cannot opt to jump off of (or will we have to do just that?)!
