About the time I found out I was pregnant with Smallspawn, my husband's health had deteriorated to the point where he had to drop out of his student teaching before he got kicked out.

Congrats, hun. Glad to hear the system occasionally gets it right. :)

It takes so long and so much work for someone with a legitimate claim to get disability, it really makes me wonder how people manage to get it fraudulently.

It's a big relief. With the economy like it is, I'm always feeling like we're living in a house of cards. It will be reassuring to have another income, no matter how small, that isn't tied to my job.

Thanks for the good wishes!

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you all. *hugs all around - gentle ones for those that hurt*

Thanks. I'm looking forward to a little relief. I'm sick of robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Congrats on the victory. I can totally sympathize with the medical bills nightmare. Hopefully this will help.

Thanks, Nan.

I haven't crunched the numbers, but I suspect if you added up everything I'm paying for insurance, copays, deductibles, etc, it would be more than what I pay for rent in a year. Any help is welcome on that front.
