Las personas con discapacidades nos enfrentamos a muchas barreras. Ya sea que lugares a donde queremos ir no son accesibles. No podemos obtener los recursos o tecnología que necesitamos. Nuestros derechos no están siendo respetados o algún otro problema. Sabemos lo que necesitamos y queremos mejor que nadie, Así que es importante dejarles saber a las personas cuáles son nuestras necesidades.

People with disabilities face a lot of barriers. Whether it's because places we want to go aren't accessible, we can't get the resources or technology we need, our rights are not being respected, or some other kind of problem, we know what we need and want better than anyone else. So it's important to let people know what our needs are. That's called self-advocacy.

    I would take a one bed jack shack with 23 hour lockdown over the mayhem of a minimum unit any day. It's quiet. When you do get out, everyone has respect and courtesy. No open air shitters and bloodbaths fighting over the TV. Cell time is easy time. If you are disciplinary, that is on you. We all ended up there because we disliked following the rules. Implementing some personal changes is the point. There are rules in an institution. Just like society. It takes a little getting used to. I am going to tell you straight though. Having been there myself. A lot of those people deserve to be there. I deserved to be there. They are terrible people. Not all of them, of course. But most. I am glad they are still there. I feel better knowing they will never leave. You should too. We should all be grateful that it is not the 19th century. Everyone dangled back then. I would not have made it out. Quick, too. You saw the judge once.

Can I do it myself or have someone do it on my behalf or??? I heard something about setting up a trust or something... sounds above my head but I'm willing to learn. I hate asking for help but the housing program I'm with is useless and very problematic. I never thought i would ever be on the recieving end of help instead of the giving... but here i am.

I have been living with A old friend of the Family, Which they have informed me that they are getting married and I will have to move Or pay $400 but that would include my rent and lights. It's a little portable building right outside the house Which is a very fair price to me but the problem is I can't work Just waiting on my SSI to be approved..so I can be able to pay, so I don't have to move. I Don't know where I would go.. So when they call me about the living arrangements what do I do? Thank you for your input. God bless you in your family...

    SSI recipient’s receive $900.00 month & must live on 10,700.00 a year some how . None can work cuz the disability . And also are not allowed . Their is NO options to receive any other money period . Also many people who have worked years & paid taxes DONT get or awarded SSD cuz a lot of times when they get to court , which can take 1- 5 years . They don’t have enough credits . Cuz the SS laws change each year . Sometimes they count 10 yrs back sometimes 5. Therefore it screws u over.

    Everyone I personally know or know of, that receive Disability benefits, are physically & mentally able to work. It's an age old conundrum in that it's not WHAT you know, it's WHO you know. In other words, if you know the 'angles', get the 'right' Doctor, or get a devious & clever legal team, you can go on Disability. It's frustrating because my daughter has hip, back, & other physical ailments, but got turned down for Disability. Some days she can hardly walk. From the standpoint of Social Security Disability, it grinds my gears when I see ANYONE under the age of 62 collecting benefits. Social Security was created for people that WORKED for a living, then retired. I see so called 'Disabled" people in the media, and in other social situations, that are perfectly able to work SOME kind of job, but simply chose not to. There should be more stringent regulations as to the 'declaration' of Disability benefits. If someone gets away with trumping up ailments, to get out of WORKING for a living, they shouldn't be granted Disability benefits. Instead they should be arrested for vagrancy. If you want to eat, GO TO WORK. I've been depressed all my life, however have been tenacious in still being able to work. People that claim they are "mentally" disabled because of depression, alcoholism (which is NOT a disease, but an addiction), etc, should NOT be granted benefits. If someone has severe physical issues and or debilitating mental issues, then and ONLY then, should the Government grant Disability benefits. The money. however, should come from another source OTHER than Social Security. The ONLY people that have the right to Social Security benefits are those that worked, paid into it, and be at least 62 years old. Sometimes people just want to skirt the 'system' to collect benefits, in lieu of rolling up their sleeves and going to work. For example, if a person can lift their arms to smoke a cigarette, have the ability to answer a telephone, or possess any basic day to day functions, they can work. Bottom-line, with respect to the whole idea of Disability & Social Security Disability, there are too many people eating cookies out of the jar, but not enough people baking more and putting them back in.

    I'd like to ask about the LEF. It's the fee we are charged for making a policy change, outside of the allotted time frame. About 10 years ago I made a policy change, with good reason, and now I'm hit with the LEF of $3 per month for THE REST OF MY LIFE! I understand that SSI doesn't want people making policy changes often. I can understand paying this fee for the year I made the policy change. After 10 years of paying this penalty, it's about $400. I know this doesn't seem like allot of $, but it is to a person that is trying to survive on SSI. Where and how else does anyone get a LIFETIME PENALTY? Also if I'm stuck with this penalty for the rest of my life, can I now make a policy change anytime I wish?
