Joe, not that I have much faith in them, but have you tried all the different Government agencies and programs that are designed to help out people that are in situations like you are? I see 3rd and 4th generation minority people who do nothing but live on welfare riding around in nice cars and using food stamps etc. to pay for good food and nice apartments. I know you're not a minority, but it seems to me you should be eligible for some programs.

don't let it get you too far down MJ, what destroyer said X2, i would be nice to see some one who "earned" benefits to actually get them. Check with social services and get a case worker. There's got to be something out there for you, you paid into to it most of your life.

Joe, not sure if you have yet or not, but apply for SSDI. You would definitely be qualified for it. You have paid into it since you started working and now you are entitled. Maybe your wife too.

Thanks Guys, I have tryed for a lot but because my other house is not fourclosed on yet they say I own 2 houses so I don't comply.
That said I have a new app in for SSI and my advocate at dialyssis has given them all they need and they called me the other day and said all set but they take a few months to decide. Advocate said that they will give it but in there own time as there is no deining my disabilty now that I am on dialysis. So I am hoping for sooner then later. My wife is on SSI for 35 years, she is leagly blind, but after wer pay for the mobile park fee we live on $300 a month, it doesn't go far with these pricices today!! the big killer is the oil heat I am going to starve soon if it doesn'get warm , and now another 6"+ tomorrow! I will make it some how, just vrenting a bit.
