Disabled Woman With Multiple Sclerosis Looking For Government Disability Grant

by June
(Jacksonville FL, USA)

I have MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and I am looking for government grants for the disabled.

I applied for SSA and SSI, but was rejected. SSA said I need three more credits to qualify. SSI said my husband makes more than $12,000 a year, which disqualifies me for assistance.

I borrowed against my life insurance and maxed out my credit cards to pay monthly bills, health insurance premiums and co-pays.

I have not been able to get MRIs, x-rays, lab tests, wellness-care, etc for years, because my co-pays are too high and I have no more room on my credit cards to charge.

The bank raised my interest to 29% last October, so my payments go directly to finance charges.

I'm 58 years old and do not qualify for Medicare for seven more years but I need help now.

I've had MS in my brain and spine since 1963. I worked as long as I could and paid my FICA, SS, Medicare and taxes.

In 1989 the MS progressed and I lost my job. Two doctors and two neurologists told SSA and SSI that I am disabled.

Are there any government disability grant programs to help me?

Go back and battle SSDI for your disability coverage. They deny everyone the first two times, but if you go back, have your hearings and appeal, you may be able to get approved. Also... two year qualifying disability gives you Medicare. Good Luck! Be careful of Disability Lawyers!!

Try the national MS website or for pre-approval on a possible covered MRI. Go to the MRI Institute online to see their program. Also ask hospitals/clinics for their sliding fee scale forms.
