90. That is how I feel.

Dec 2016

I am not elderly but I am disabled. I fear for my financial stability because I am one of those people you can not tell that I am disabled by just looking at me and talking to me in general. People have gotten on my ass about lying about being disabled just because I do not LOOK it and I fear I will lose my income, health benefits, and low income housing just because I do not LOOK disabled. I am always on the look out to stand up for those who might be getting harassed by haters but I do not know how I could really help. I am always told to call and write to my congressperson but I hate to say this people like me can do that until they are blue in the face and it will not make a difference.
