ppl cannot judge anyone untill they have walked in their shoes. instead of being so negative, try to sympathize. if you don't have something nice to say thrn don't say it at all.
I can relate to much of your situation, thank you for the video. I am sorry to read some of the other comments that are less than kind. It would be personally difficult for me to shrug off the negative comments I hear you have received. Feel proud that you are sharing your story and chipping away at the stigma and misinformation out there regarding disabilities. I would have a difficult time doing that. Keep up the fight.
What I don't understand is how people can so easily label persons on disability as lazy freeloaders when these are people that have for the most part worked all of their adult life and have generously paid into the system in order to qualify for SSDI one must have money paid into the system by (working) not sitting on their ass people need to think before they speak such ignorance
SweetP4real1 RIGHT?!! People don't understand how things work. Out of all my videos this one gets the most comments from people who are just ignorant. They don't watch my other videos where I tell every one my "story" but hey it's good for raising my views lol
SweetP4real1 true But this lazy F×ck isn't old enough to have worked and hasn't paid jack shit and has manageble conditions. treatable conditions. U cant see everyones disabilities but none that he has stated should keep you from working
Free Spirit The reason most people say it is because we see it every day. We also see people with diabetes, back pain, heart conditions and even down syndrome out hustling.
David Mason what you just said yes their out doing things but the part that you are forgetting is that all you just mentioned those people with them diagnosis are progressive and not reversible and it’s coming at a consequence meaning their speeding up their diagnoses, yes their is lazy fuckers but when your diagnosed with something that’s not curable and out doing things your putting your life in more in danger. Plain and simple their shortening their life span by 4 or 5 years eventually it’s going to catch up to them.
I feel what you’re going through I am on disability as well and trying to find affordable housing. I am 63 and disabled and even the senior apartments are becoming expensive I would probably have to go further out of the city or leave the state where the cost-of-living is cheaper in order to find a decent place to live.
My experience with disability has been pretty good. I was 50 when I applied. I had 2 back surgeries but felt pretty good considering that I had done hard labor most my life and was kind of worn out. Two months after applying I had my first check. They told me that at 50, they weren't interested in training me for a new career. So I was granted permanent disability with free health care and free meds for life. Since then I've had 2 knee operations and a full knee replacement on the other leg. I even got a new leather recliner that helps me up electronically. After hearing so many stories of denial of benefits, I can't understand how I got so lucky. And my monthly benefits are $1640. I'm not trying to brag at all but I had to tell my positive disability story. I hope there's lots of you out there with stories like mine.
Wish you could help me get mines. Im facing dialysis and vision declined in both eyes. Been diabetic since 14 and going on 38. I guess in my town you work till you diw
@R Cee Free health care and meds you say.....are you in another country? If you are in America you are not on Disability. You are on your state's taxpayers insurance medicaid leech program.
Sleepy American Deport millions of ILLEGALS and see rents drop a lot and wages go up. Many are on Section 8 and welfare even though we were promised they would not be. it is a simple matter of SUPPLY & DEMAND.
I got kicked out of the apartment I was living in because I wanted the owners to fix the loose electrical outlets that lead to one third of home fires. They do not spend much money on fixing these 24 properties they own, so it took them 2 months to partially fix the apartment I was in, but this was not before I was kicked out. The manager did not like me, so this was personal. She was severely apathetic and sarcastic. I was for the renters, not the owners. These Arriba apartments in San Antonio Texas don't care about the renters. They let the renters fix their own apartments with their own money. Don't live there.
My SSDI payments are just short of two grand, I have served in the military for thirty years. I am now getting back from the system what I put into the system. If you are young working minimum wage jobs and now have medical issues why would you think that your approved SSDI payments should cover most of your costs of living. Regardless of any diagnoses at your age and highest earnings, you will always be at the bottom tier of SSDI payments.
hello i feel so much for you this is why i do what i do for the poor and all i do non profit donation site and my dream is to help people like you i already have help many many communities which is the people who suffer i have conquer diabetes im on mmf i literally wake up normal now google telomeres diabetes repair cells i was on 3 shots to 2 to 1 to o my body weight perfect 113 49 and feel 30 but im here to say there is hope for people like me to help you
I have only worked one job under the table and that was a taxi driving job of which i worked 3 weeks. Otherwise all the other jobs ive had have been tax paying jobs.
Thank you Tom, it is an ongoing battle still. Some of the medications that I use to take and need to take are not covered by any of the Medicare parts that I am on (A B and D I believe) my limited income is $731 after they take out my medicare payments, my rent is $650 a month and after I pay the 2 bills that i have i am left with $3 a month to survive on. I receive $170 in Food Stamps which with the outrageous prices of food in the area I live in is less than enough to support me.
I hope things are working out for you well friend! I struggle with a lot of the same mental disabilities as yourself. I just moved here to Washington about 8 months ago from the state of Michigan where I'm originally from. I'm not on disability but I get help from dshs right now, there are a lot of resources and assistance here in King County as well.
Cory Modzeleski Yeah King County is full of resources and programs. But I love living in Jefferson. Its a smaller less "rich" county but it has a lot of great people who really do try and help. Things are not 100% but i would say at least 75% just small baby steps. The only thing I wish they would do is increase my payments so that I had more than $20 for the month after I paid everything. But even then I really cant complain. If you need help finding things here in Wa please let me know and I will do my best to help. I dont know much about King but I do know quite a bit about Kitsap and Jefferson.
If you are proofer SS D and also get approved for SSI and also get a supplemental insurance that'll help out with your Medicaid will be zero cost to you call up your local so security disability office in your local area thank you
I have looked into different ways of increasing my payout and decreasing my medicare costs and unfortunately I just hit walls all the time. With my Part D coverage I have to spend $140 in a year before it becomes free. So typically from Jan - April I have to pay out of pocket foe everything then after that $140 mark its free. The only thing I havent looked into is finding a pro-bono lawyer who is a social security bull dog and see if some how my case was mismanaged or what happened because I didnt get 1/4 of the back pay i was supposed to.
hellocupcakeitsme you should do a fair hearing they usually give you what ur asking for when u get a fair hearing, i represented myself, the judge couldnt believe i was denied.
I am still try to get benefits after my disabilities in 2011 took up to 2014 to be approved for sad benefits and had to pay for a gap insurance and got no help from any office to helped me but was lied. Too. Still trying to my life back but I hootenanny sicker do to no help and I am alone.
Thanks for the video. It’s been years since you made this, how are you doing now? I’m 47 now and I’ve been on disability since I was 27. Cancer physically wrecked this body of mine. Hope you’re doing well
Im doing ok. Still just trying to get by. Im thankfully still in the same place. My landlord worked with me and I was able to pay him back over the years. However 98% of my income goes to paying rent. Really have to watch my spending as SSDI doesn't keep up with the cost of living. Having new health issues it seems like all the time. But trying to stay positive, and just get through this COVID BS like everyone else. Thanks for your comment. Hope you subscribed ;)
Hi unfortunately I am not sure about the areas within your state that has these resources available to you. However, you could go to your local public assistance office and they should be able to help you with locating them. You could try New Jersey Housing Resource Center or do a quick google search for your area.
I'm sorry to hear about your struggle. It took me over two years to get SSDI and I was homeless for three years. Couldn't pay my car insurance and had to ride the bus for two years. Yet I got closer to God. Writing a book about the experience. It's titled "Trial by Fire: My Homeless Journey."
Yeah being homeless is no fun what so ever. Thankfully im doing "better" than when I did this video. But I fear being homeless again all the time. I have been trying to take steps to getting an RV or something like that just so that if it comes to me having to leave where I currently live i wont be homeless again. Many people see this video and comment all kinds of BS not knowing what I have and am going through. But I am glad that from the sounds of it, that you are moving forward too. I would love to get a copy of your book when you release it.
Hi, again! Where do you live? I was stuck in three different shelters in Pinellas County, Florida. That's in the Tampa Bay area. Sadly, Pinellas has the most of any Bay area counties as far as number of shelters. I've subscribed. Please send me your e-mail address. Maybe we can help each other with advice, etc. I'd be happy to send you the book but still writing it. Pray for me that I get it published. Thanks!
Just found your video. I hope you found a good place to move. I will have to see if you posted updates. I will add this and it was just my situation. I am not on disability. But I did move to a 14 unit apartment complex. Everyone there besides myself were on social security. They made wonderful neighbors. Everyone went to bed early which worked great. I did first shift at that time. No kids running around screaming. No loud music blaring all hours of the night. So sometimes older is better. Good luck to you. The government sure doesn't give you much to live off of. That has to be hard. Prayers all is going well for you. 💙
Thanks for sharing. I'm too bipolar and depression is real etc but in this disability living world we have to stick together and keep eachother encouraged. I love you all as if you all were my sisters and brothers because you all are in Christ. I'm from Florida currently waiting on my. Florida Lottery Jackpot Powerball winnings. Stay in great spirits lets continue to RESPECT OURSELVES AND EACHOTHER. Jesus has not forgotten us and he loves us all the main thing is to live with love work(not giving up working on our goals and challenges we may face in our lives) and keeping faith.
JEHUDAH CRY OUT well I worked from 18 to 27 many times 6 days a week from 7am to 6pm without a lunch did that shift fir 5 months straight but at that time I was just barely getting $9.50hr
I'm on Social Security Disability for my heart and broken back. I still work to help make ends meet. You can't live on disability alone. Also, the older you are and more you have paid into the system, the more your payments are.
+Dub Coco Yes, $500 didn't seem like very much. I wondered if he wasn't receiving SSI (Supplemental Security Income) instead. I thought one would at least get $800 a month on Soc. Sec. disability. I'm now trying to get on disability. I thought I might get approved easier under the 'grid rules' because at 55 I can't do the work that I was doing when I was younger, but I still got denied and now have to have a hearing.
+Lani Moore I get both SSI and SSD to make $751. It is best that you have a court hearing because the judge will give you a fairer ruling than someone sitting at a desk. The judge granted mine the same day as my hearing. But that was also because he was presented with over 3000 pages in my case file and said "you are one of the most eligible cases ive seen come across my desk in the last 10 years" prior to that i was denied 5 times and had a meeting with my lawyer 4 times. I applied in 2010 and was granted in 2012.
+hellocupcakeitsme Thank you. I was also told I could apply for both SSDI and SSI since I qualified for both, so I will see how it goes. I went to a hearing a few weeks ago, but they suggested I get an attorney and then reschedule. They 'claim' it will go better with a disability attorney.
+Lani Moore Yes having a legal advocate really does help because many times there is tons of paperwork and legal jargon that is tossed around and what have you and if you get yourself a good attorney then you are more likely to get your claim. HOWEVER, it was my experience that my attorney made me pay back a huge percentage of my back pay to the state and social services, as well as taking a hefty fee. So there is positive and negative.
R Smith I was denied several times before I had to get a lawyer. It is always good to have been denied at least 3 times before looking for legal help. When choosing a lawyer make sure that they specialize in Social Security Claims. Also make sure that they take all of their costs off the top and that you will not be required to pay any additional fees after the settlement. In my case, I had to pay an additional $135 to my lawyer after she took her percentage, and she made me pay back the public assistance that I received during my time waiting for a trial. I was awarded $28k but ended up only getting about $9k back and that was broken into 4 or 5 payments every 6 months. Each payment was less than $1500.
+samsonpker there was a program here in Washington state called GAX which paid out of monthly stipend and food assistance so I had to pay back all the money that I received but not the food stamps. and your guess is as good as mine as to the amount that I received back I really think that I got gouged and by the attorney and the fact that I had to pay back state benefits cuz everyone else that I had spoken to have said they didn't have to do that
Glenn Smith back then there were a few programs here GA-U. Washington State provides cash grants and medical assistance to low-income adults without dependents who are temporarily unable to work due to a physical or mental disability that lasts at least 90 days. General Assistance- Unemployable (GA-U) is a program of last resort; to be eligible, individuals must be ineligible for most other forms of public assistance, including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) And then there was the program that I was on which was GA-X GA-X. Individuals with long-term disabilities (those expected to last 12 months or more) apply for federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI); while they await approval, the state provides General Assistance-Expedited (GA-X) cash grants. GA-X clients are eligible for Medicaid. Once SSI benefits are approved, the state is reimbursed by the federal government for GA-X expenditures. The new program that they have is called ABD (Aged, Blind, Disabled) The Aged, Blind, or Disabled (ABD) program provides cash assistance to eligible low-income adults who are age 65 or older, blind, or determined likely to meet Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability criteria based on a physical or mental impairment that is expected to last at least 12 consecutive months. The Aged, Blind or Disabled cash assistance program provides a maximum monthly cash grant of $197.00. So as for the programs in your area I'm not all that sure. But I'm pretty certain that all states have simular programs.

i agree normally i delete negative comments because the people who are suffering from the same things im going through i dont want them to be assaulted by other peoples ignorance.
I appreciate your sharing here about this very difficult situation. It is shameful to shaft you and people like you in this inhumane way. I live in Ontario and work with other people as human rights and anti-poverty activists. We have been doing this since 2010. Our name is HAMILTON COALITION AGAINST POVERTY . We are on Facebook . I will continue to follow up here.
Thank you Lisa. Yes it can be very difficult because people have so many preconceived notions about what is "wrong" with someone who is young and on SSI/SSD. I face people calling me all types of horrid things, or making quick decisions about my life. Even some of my best friends have suggested that I am just "faking it". I just keep doing me because my doctors and I know what is going on and I dont need to prove or get approval from any one. As for the low income housing, here in Jefferson County, WA in the area that I am in we only have 4-5 complexes that are low income, the rest are disabled/senior living. 3 of them are ran by a lady who is a real b***h and is only in it for herself and to make her clique happy.
Hi there. Okay, let me say to start off with that I am not techy much. It took me 8 yrs. to figure out this commenting here an dtalking on UA-cam. Go figure. so please bear with me. I am a very active member of an anti-poverty group HAMILTON COALITION AGAINST POVERTY ( HCAP ) in Hamilton, Ontario Canada. We have been active for 4 and a half years now. We do a weekly picket in front of a government affiliated agency called ONTARIO WORKS that is supposed to assist people with finding jobs, facilitating paper work stuff, connecting with needed community agencies, assisting with finding appropriate housing and doing liason work, counselling , assisting with finding Dr. etc. etc. However, this OW has been around for too long and are basically a big concrete bureaucratic anchor not a balloon anymore. You understand ? So we are trying to remove this monolithic barrier from the path of poor people by gradually chippin gaway at it. Lately , we have seemed to struck a chord . YEAH... so we plug along. We now are doing monthly peoples' public forums re : important issues like bed bugs, housing, homelessness, food req'ts, accessibility, scuzzy landlords..yeah the list goes on. We will continue to do this monthly. As well, we are doing a small bit of individual advocacy for effected people in Hamilton. Just wanted to up-date you. There are many many groups in Ontario and Canada similar to us but our action is direct.. no petitions, no begging, no grovelling , just in their faces. We have a FB page called HAMILTON COALITION AGAINST POVERTY. Please check it out and share it around. We are working to be a city role model for other cities. you know what I mean? :) We also have a running HCAP page about the peoples' forum on bed bugs. Please check that out as well. You are definitley stuck in a tough place there my friend. Please share more with me and tell your friends and family about HCAP. I want to stay in touch with you okay. :) Just remember you are NOTalone. Sincerely,Lisa HCAP
Hi there Cupcake. Let's keep in touch on line here. WE at Hamilton Coalition against Poverty are seriously committed to completely getting rid of poverty and the crap that drags along with it. We are direct action...not petitions or begging or short term occupies . We work hard at getting current research and info in important related areas. It would be great if we could share info and encourage each other and work together across borders to share the info and expand our territory so to speak. How do you feel about that? Take care, Lisa HCAP
Hi Lisa, that sounds great. I have also sent you a friends request on Facebook on the HAMILTON COALITION AGAINST POVERTY facebook page so check your others folder as that is where the message was sent. Feel free to send me a personal request too.
Hi. I bought a old rv for a thousand dollars. I pay 325 lot rent if I stay in town. Free if I go to the woods. Also disability changed their laws. They now release your back pay in increments. Don't expect one large amount of money. Sorry for your struggles. My heart goes out to you. Stay positive friend
Hi there Baybay, for me it took about 2 years from 2010 to 2012 but they had me do a complete physiological profile and medical testings before I finally got a judge to see me. Plus I was going through the state, which took even longer. If you are going through the state expect that its going to take a bit longer. If you go directly through a lawyer then it might be sooner. However, be warned that you will have to pay back all lawyer and state fees before getting a disbursement.
If anyone needs help you can go on google or bing type in ( low income program ( your city or county ) your state ) y'all will be amazed what all pops up.
i am on ssid i get 1236 a month still can't get low income housing or section 8 i just bought a trailer that need alot of work from plumbing to electrical. had to live somewhere
yeah i know how that is. I have had friends take whatever they could..thankfully since the making of this video things have kinda worked themselves out. I wish I got more than the $753 but its better than nothing i guess.
I'm only mildly autistic. Not quite autistic enough for my parents to have put me on SSI. They don't think I can hold up a job. Thats a ludicrous excuse. I'm a 25 year old adult but I'm under the "adult guardianship" which is also ludicrous. Doctors are the worst ones to ask about mental health.
if there is an ALDI near you, shop for fresh veggies there and if you drink milk, drink skim, ALDI has the best prices, I am a type 2 Diabetic and had to make a lot of changes in my diet, I eat Egg Beaters now and Butterball Turkey bacon for BK, a Pear for lunch or Banana check and see if Food Depot is near you we shop there, Blue Bonnet Lite margarine is all I use, extra virgin olive oil too, get a George Forman grill it will make a difference, shop at Goodwill, you will find one.
nope didnt offend, I deleted your original comment. Just if your upset by something I post please dont write hateful things in the comments for everyone to read. There is enough of that on UA-cam and I do not appreciate it. If what I have to say or post about offends you or upsets you please dont view my videos any more. Thanks :)
We operate a non profit low income housing facility and for the most part find it a very rewarding experience. Too bad some people have so much trouble qualifying.
it has been my experience that 95% of the properties that are geared toward low income or even subsidized housing and take/accept disability or social security are either places for 55+ or not in the best neighborhoods. I understand that not everyone who is in low income housing are "bad' people, but more often than not there are those folks who are. I have since posting this video, looked at low income and disabled subsidized housing and have found that I either have to be on some waiting list that is a game of popularity, or that I would have to live within a senior housing unit. Most of which even though the complex is part of the Equal Housing Act, still resist or will not allow a person of my age to live within their complex/community. Even though I am for the most part a very quite person, with little to no foot traffic coming in and out of my residence. It is hard to find a happy medium. Here in Jefferson County Washington, we have only a hand full of apartments/complexes that allow for low income. These places are filled to the rafters with persons of questionable backgrounds, and drug addicted, and for a lack of better description "low class" people. I don't not expect low income mansions in Beverly Hills, but it would be nice to feel safe in the housing and maybe even see strict guidelines revolving around drug use. Here in Washington, Marijuana is legal now, even though it is not federally recognized, but with Marijuana being an acceptable form of drug use, persons who test positive for meth and other drugs unless prescribed by a doctor, should not be allowed to benefit from these programs. I know that would leave many families homeless or more children in the foster system. But even then I have seen Landlords and other Property Managers look the other way due to the fact that the persons in question were friends or some how benefited them in someway. Also many people in my situation do not know about the programs available to them, and because of local government and red tape and shut doors, many get discouraged and end up just doing whatever they can. It sometimes feels like the checks and balances are being looked at as "guidelines" and that these local offices and agencies do what they will or want. I have become a unofficial Renter/Tenets Rights activist here in Jeff Co because so many of the landlords in the area bully and harass their tenets and break the law at every turn. I monitor the rental boards on Facebook for my local area, and try and help out when i can by providing people with the laws governing their rights as tenets and as landlords. And by doing so have called attention to Landlords in the area which has kind of put the spot light on me should I need a new place to go.
I am grateful for what I have and am able to do. But the medicare system is flawed. When I had state medical, I was never denied services, or medications. The only thing that I wish I had was dental, because being a diabetic, my teeth are becoming bad which will lead to other health issues and problems. But as I said before I am thankful, just wish my lawyer didnt stiff me and would have fought a bit harder for me.
You are very lucky Mr cupcake, mental issues are very hard to prove so your Dr's must of been top notch indeed to pull it off so give you lawyer some respect. Just so you know many mental issues that disability did approve for are now going to be excluded and when you go for your next evaluation for disability don't be surprised you do not qualify. Yes just so you know I too am on disability, so yeah I have lots of experience dealing with the Feds.
@@Freemen0069 yeah I know things have changed a bit. But it wasn't 100% mental health issues it was some physical issues that have not gotten better. But i'll admit i'm scared of losing what benefits i do have and being homeless. But i just keep pushing that things will somehow work themselves out. But the original diagnosis was not an "easy" one. I had to go through several state and federal doctors and disability specialists etc. It was difficult and scary because i was by myself trying to navigate it and my own mental health issues too.
I live by myself with my cat in hud housing. I've applied for SSD. Not sure if my case will be approved or denied but for the past 9 months I've been in chronic pain it has interfered with my work. My manager is cutting my hours from 27 hrs a week down to 10 - 15. I found out from a Rheumatologist that I have degenerative joint disease shown on a CT scan. I went from a healthy weight 130 down to 102 lbs. The pain has caused depression anxiety. I also have funky vision. I drive in the day time my vision is worse. I was born with an eye condition called retinopathy of prematurity. My bones hurt a lot. The doctor is trying me on different medications for Osteoarthritis. I'm young 26. It's more common in older people. It's mentally hard to cope with I never thought I'd have this form of arthiritis.
sorry to tell you this but my disability took 7 years and had to go all the way to the supreem court to be overturned. so good luck on alot quicker result than mine Sarah
I felt bad being on social security benefits but since I was 4 years old I have been sick from my kidneys, had depression and psychosis when I was a teenager then at age 21 I had sleep apnea and started getting seizures. I am in my twenties still and still have health problems but always have wanted to work. I atleast completed my college degree and my health is getting better. I also was going to start to work part time but then covid came :( but im going to work online just need to get my own place though.
Yeah it is difficult to accomplish at times. I am constantly scared of being homeless again. If I lose as much as $40-$60 from my monthly allotment im pretty much screwed. And with bills constantly going up it really hard. Have you gone to your local DSHS (Department of Social and Health Services) aka "the welfare office" and talked to them about helping you get in contact with a Disability Job Coach? Most states have some type of specialist that help differently abled persons find jobs that are tailored to their specific needs. Its sometimes called FCS (Foundational Community Supports) is a program offering benefits for supportive housing and supported employment for Medicaid-eligible beneficiaries with complex needs. Either way, dont be to down on yourself about not being able to work right now. Something will come along when its time.
@@hellocupcakeitsme I think I have talked to a job coach when I was younger in the social security office and I think they told me I could apply for working in mail. I have been living in housing projects with my mom before but now I live in a house with my mom and other family members and I don't even got my own room lol I'm in my twenties and want to be independent from my mom. It has been hard but thankfully my kidneys are still good and Im not in no dialysis and my overall health is getting a bit better. I saw a video on continumm care that helps if you are homeless or about to be homeless. It is part HUD. I am going to sign in that program and in section 8 and see where God leads me.
Well typically I would agree, however, if you are saying that my claim is BS I would like to inform you that its not. I have an 1900 page document that states all the issues both medical and mental that the judge over looked and said that I was a candidate And smokers really need the help to quite smoking. Im glad I dont smoke..
My sister wants me to become Raw Vegan, she has lost like 90lbs and is super happy, I on the other hand cant make that switch as it makes me sick everytime i try to eat those foods :( I would love to otherwise just to lose some weight. The one diet that I tried that worked well for me was Atkins I lost a GRIP of weight. I hope the move goes well for you and that you can find employment.
True they ust had a huge write up in thepaper yesterday about how there is no affordable houses or apt to rent aound here.I pay my rent but I think this house is going into forcloser.I am really scared because I have pets and my roommates have pets too.I am on SSID.
I have panic attacks social anxiety depression post stress disorder not an easy life and then when you try to get an apartment on what money you have section 8 here where I'm at. All bottled up
I am also a diabetic and have bi polar and severe depression and I'm in major pain all over my body constantly and I still hold a job and do not receive any type of assistance at all. And am a full time mother as well. Life's rough, you gotta get control of your emotions and really get it together, it's life,deal with it. I'm really not trying to be mean at all,it's just I think you need to be told the reality, I take no meds and also struggle with the most severe case of anxiety as well.
Jessica l well that's you some people have it in them to fight others don't you're strong because you have kids if something took them from you you wouldn't still be strong "just dealing with it" is the worse thin someone could ever say to someone with "our" condition
hellocupcakeitsme I know but I've just been through so many hardships from a very young age so you are right I've had to become very strong, I meant no offense though. The absolutely worst thing about having diabetes for me has been the severe nerve damage to my feet,it's has been the worst pain I've ever really dealt with, do you have nerve damage like that at all? my twin brother also has diabetes, but type 1 and he is on disability, his vision is messed up because of the nerve damage. And I absolutely went through the same thing with my doctor, she's horrible, I've told her repeatedly about my feet and she treats me like I'm just making it up or some shit,so frustrating!
+Jessica l yah I'm getting nerve damage in my feet in my legs and my back thankfully not in my eyes yet.I've been trying to go vegetarian or at least "part time" I've gotten my a1c down from 14.5 to 7.2 so I'm trying hard
I've been going through some similar stuff, I was recently diagnosed with severe panic disorder and depression and a mild form of agoraphobia, and it's made it to where I can hardly do anything anymore or hold down a job the way I used to. I've been curious about disability for people with panic disorder and severe anxiety. You seem to know a lot about it. Do you have a Facebook or some way I could private message you?
I hope only for the best for you and your family, i understand how bad it can get with only having a small amount of money and trying to feed everyone its hard.
you said Jefferson County, so I do know that you are aware that most one-bedroom apartments are $900, and that's not including Xcel Bill utilities xcetera. Best luck to you!
hellocupcakeitsme You aint seen high rents till you see em in my neck o the woods. Here just north of san francisco in petaluma in sonoma county the senior apt complex i live at just raised the rents. My one bedroom apt went from $910.00 to $1305.00 but i have a section 8 voucher which pays most of my rent. Im disabled and have been plugged into the system for about 15 years. At this time while im technically living under the poverty line lifes not so bad. I have great pain most of the time but I'm not starving although i wish i could get food stamps. You can't get stamps when your on ssd, only afdc or some homeless. So just when you feel somewhat at ease you hear about big cuts. Ca is a very blue state so we will see what happens, by the way sonoma has some of the highest homeless population in the country. So in finally ending good luck to you and all the rest of us on the dole in the country.
Wow really..? So you some how have been with me my whole life to know my work history..hmm the only Julio I know is a gay waiter in Palm Springs CA. As for the 'free' car, please tell whom ever I happen to buy it from not to charge me ok you'll be doing me a solid. As for having a nice life, thank you I will try my best. If you must know I've worked since I was 15 and only became unable to work in 2012. But thank you for your comment and encouraging words :)
Hi. Just stay on your state medical I will explain it in a bit to you. That will be better for you right now anyways. I have a question for you? How long ago did you file for your SSI? I ask this because you will get back pay in a lump some. If it was 1 year you will get $6,972. If its 2 years you will get $13,944. If its 3 years you will get $20,916. If its 4 years you will get $ 27,888. I will explain the medicare, If you take the Medicare part D they will take $100 dollars a month out of your monthly check but also your back pay will also be less if you take the Medicare because they will count your monthly SSI pay as $461 instead of $581. And also listening to your vidio today, You really need to watch what you say on vidio and what you post on UA-cam and Facebook and also on any other social media website you post on. Thats very important!! because the Fedral Government and State Government will use anything you say or do against you, espeically If you say your depression is not a issue lately? or say your going on a vacation? Don't say those things at all, We all know what you mean but the Government will use anything against you for sure. Im just looking out for you and I hope your doing well. Take care. Hawk Out!!
That's not true in Washington state. I just got my disability 8 months ago. They changed the laws. They now only release back pay in 6 month intervals. You don't get one large payment anymore. Mine have been 2 thousand dollars each. Then at one year you will receive the balance. Go check. Trust me on this. I am living it. Peace friend.
How are you doing now? 2015? Sounds like you were just getting SSI not SSDI. Because if you worked any length of time, say, 15 years or so you would of been able to get more through SSDI.
Hello Terrie Wixson I am doing as well as can be expected. I manage to make ends meet for the most part. Thankfully my sister pays my electric bill and my mom pays my cell phone, which is $130 every 3 months through straight talk. The only thing I wish is that I did get a little more, even $200-$300 more would completely make a difference in my life. I know if I was living in california I would be collecting almost $1500 a month. And I do get SSDI. So with the $741 i get I am able to pay my $650 rent and my $72.82 Cable/Internet bill and then the money I have left over goes to purchasing litter and food for my 2 cats. So im making enough to survive but not enough to live.
I was surprise I heard from you! Thank you for your reply. But my question to you was" do you get SSDI" also? If you haven't applied you should. I think that would help a lot. Where do you live? I've never heard of the Free Store, I would love to go there bc sometimes a little would help. Hope to here from you soon
Terrie Wixson I did answer about the SSDI :) yes I do receive that. I get $741.00 combined with my SSI and SSD, unless SSDI is something different then no I do not get that. I live in Washington State on The Olympic Peninsula. The "Free" store is no longer free, but it is a STEEPLY discounted thrift store that will sometimes give the items to you for free if you are in need. But what it was, was a place where people donated things and it was like a Goodwill or other thrift store except that everything was basically free. Then they started having prices on some things like lamps and beds etc, now because of greed within the church who started it, now everything is priced.
Hi again. Yes SSDI I think is different than what you get bc you should be getting a lot more than $741. Unless you don't have a very long work history. SSDI is for someone who is Physically or Mentally Handicapped. Hope I don't sound nosey, just trying to help. Take care.
Terrie Wixson ok if it is different then i dont have it. I should look into it. A friend of mine just told me about this program that they got on to that made the state pay for medicare so im going to see about that so that would be another $150-$200 back because i have to pay for my medical. And your not being nosy i am happy to answer any questions and recieive all the info i can. Part of the reason i started blogging and doing videos :)
go to your foodstamp office and tell them u cant afford to pay for part b and they make a pay for b because of income,county will also pay 98 % of prop tax,
Yeah, it was an easy change. I couldn't give up sugar though. Luckily, I have genes against diabetes, so I'm not as likely to get it. I'm sorry you have it. I live in Springfield, MO, but I'm moving back to Fayetteville soon, which is in Arkansas, so I can try to work again. I have to wait for my lease to run out though.
yeah I live in Rhode Island it doesn't make much different I get 782 but the rent is anywhere from $700 to $600 for a one bedroom which is extremely hard to find the $600 one and the most f*****-up thing about it all is the government only allows you to save up to $1,200 when you're collecting SSI and also how you going to do this when you're paying for basic necessities plus if you have a roommate you have to pay for half that rent until you can find a place of your own and if you don't have a roommate you're pretty much fuck let us pray for help because the government sure ain't doing nothing
It seems impossible to live in our home while only being able to receive SSI I mean I wish I could work so I can get more money but I can't I have problems that stop me from doing so so I have no choice and there's no programs out there that will help me supplement my rent
Im sorry to hear that. It is tough out there and only getting worse. Hopefully you can apply for section 8 or HUD to get a place. they just passed a bill that makes it illegal for landlords and property management from discriminating against people on section 8 or other federally funded programs. Doesnt matter if it is a privately owned home or not. It goes into effect 3/31/19
Did you know exercise can help you feel better? I would like to know more about your situation because I think I can help you and other people in your similar situiation with some economical and environmentall ideas.
I had to cut cholesterol completely out of my diet due to my medicine. I don't mind. I don't like butter or eggs anyway. I just ate them because they came with my stuff. They always say I'm depressed, but I'm really pessimistic. You should come to my city because we have a lot of good low income housing, but I understand you don't want to move.
jim dandy I know right how the hell fo they expect you to live on that shit. but things have gotten a bit better this was after all about 5yrs ago give or take. not much of an improvement but better than nothing
I WONT MAKE A CLAIM BUT I WILL CLAIM TRUTH THE HUMAN DNA AND AGING CELLS WHAT HAPPENDS WHEN TELOMERES SHORTEN OR BREAK OFF ASK YOUR DRS WHAT IT MEANS THEY ALL STUDY BEFORE BECOMING A DR I SAY NO MORE GOD BLESS YOU
I can't get shit. I'm type 1 diabetic, have diabetic retinopathy, stage 3 and stage 4 kidney failure and have had 16 eye surgery in two yrs, and haven't gave up or stopped working, I'm depressed And full of anxiety due to possible dialysis, I ve been diabetic since I was 14 yrs old, insulin dependent, and now I'm 38. No family or kid ... I've worked since 16 yrs old, I refuse to give up on myself. I push myself daily, because I know they don't want to give you anything at social security... I've brought a home 10 yrs ago and worked two jobs from 19 to 36 yrs. I just recently got diagnosed with the complications that I have. I hate asking social services for anything, folks can have kids and get help before you can be sick and get help. That's how it is in VA. Work till you die!!! You look healthy enough to work, you sitting on UA-cam. You can clean, wash cars, take phone calls, you can do something. My vision is declined an so is my kidneys and I push myself daily!!!!
Well I respect your struggles and I am sorry that you "can't get shit" maybe you should speak to a Disability Lawyer or one who specializes in SSDI cases. Thanks for using your limited eye sight to view my videos and take time to comment. It means everything to me. I hope you have a blessed day/week/month/year. And if you haven't done so already, please hit the like and subscribe button.
Wow. Amazing! I realize this is old video however that doesn't matter as far as yours being a great story....fairytale (DREAM) for someone who's disabled...like myself. So yes, indeed I enjoyed it. Back to reality though- I'll continue TRYING TO BARELY EXIST as THIS certainly is not 'living' and I'll continue battling my state dhs as I have been ALONE since officially few 2014... When they cut all my benefits WITHOUT providing any reason WHY. THIS IS AMERICA FOLKS! My fine USA. Ask not what your country can do FOR YOU instead I suggest you ask yourself what your country will do TO YOU. Uhh ohh, It's not good. Promise! I was left for dead by underage dui, he fled. Problem is I didn't DIE, he basically turned his back and walked away from my blood covered body, after we made eye contact, surely knowing I was NOT DEAD. And that moment life as I'd known it for 20+ years was... THE END
your ssi will go up in time i was receiving the same and not to long after i was receiving $839 and thats after they deduct $50 for nack pay from when my mom was my payee
hellocupcakeitsme How long did it take you to get your disability? Did you get denied a couple of times and then have to go in front of a judge to get it ordered? Sorry for asking all the questions but, I'm curious because, I have been denied twice and then I have a hearing for later this year. I'm wondering if you're more likely to get it when you go before a judge? Do you still live in the same place that you did when you recorded this video?
I was denied i think a total of 4 times. But during that time I had to see a team of specialists. I had to see county and state doctors, and i had to see a social worker, county mental health, then i had to be reviewed by a state psychiatrist like 2 or 3 times. Then I was told by the county to get a lawyer. I then saw my lawyer 2 times and then went before the judge. I began applying for it back in 2010 and was issued it in 2013. I then had to pay back all the money that was issued to me by the state and county while i was awaiting my court hearing. Then I had to pay my lawyers fee plus $130. Yes I still live in the same place. I was able to get things kinda figured out. I now get $751 a month and $160-$170 for food. My rent is $650 my internet/cable is $80 which leaves me $20 for the rest of the month. Then I found that there is a program that most counties offer for persons who have therapy and service animals that they will issue a check to cover their monthly expenses so I get $33.66 for that. But it still isnt really enough to cover everything. I really dont even make enough to make it a full month for food sometimes. Thankfully when and if I can get a ride, there is a food bank right down the street that is open every Wednesday, but i dont get to utilize it all that often, and even then when im able to, a lot of the stuff is only a day or so from going bad. There is never "fresh" fruit and veggies like they want you to believe. And they play favorites. If you have a small family like 1-3 people you will never be offered cheese or milk or other dairy product, except yogurt, and even then its 1 per person. There has been times when Ive gotten things home and found that it looked good but when i went to use it, there was all kinds of mold and what have you on the side you couldnt see. They boast that they give away stuff for a weeks worth of healthy meals, but your lucky if you get 2 or 3 days worth of meals. Its typically just fillers and some 'staples' like rice, beans, pasta, and bread. If it wasnt for my family I wouldnt have electricity or a phone. My sister does the electric and my mom does my cell phone which is prepaid through Straight Talk. She pays 3 months at a time which comes out to $180 with taxes i think. I do have an "Obama Phone" but that is only used for emergencies since there is only 250 minutes a month on that and unlimited texting. And dont be sorry for the questions, I like the interaction. That was the whole point of me doing these videos and doing my blog.
hellocupcakeitsme Wow well, I have had a lawyer for nearly 2 years now and I'm nervous about the hearing. Due to a serious brain injury, I cannot remember most of my work history or date, what can I do to find out my exact work history before my courtdate? Can you do a video on what all you were asked at your hearing? I'm happy to hear that everything worked out for you. I'm female by the way, many people think I'm male because of my screenname which stands for Clash of Clans Leader. Anyway, please write back when you get the chance.
COC Leader Well I would ask Social Security to produce a copy of your work history as every place you've worked has to have records of you. So every quarter that information is updated, using it you may be able to get an idea of work dates. Another way to do it is if you had direct deposit for your checks or your deposited your work check, then you could look back at your statements to find when you deposited your checks. Social Security Work History and Earnings History Reports Detailed Earnings Information: Provides periods of employment or self-employment and the names and addresses of employers. (www.ssa.gov/online/ssa-7050.pdf) that should help you. As for the questions the judge asked me from what I am able to remember myself was: 1.) Please describe your work history 2.) Why is it you feel you can no longer preform those duties 3.) What would a secondary vocation be things of that nature. Here is another site that may help you www.disabilitysecrets.com/page6-15.html the thing is dont be embarassed about what you say. Be honest and straight. Dont go off topic and always answer the questions. There is NO ONE in that room with you that will 'judge' you. Typically the only people in the room with you is your lawyer, your witness, the judge, the stenographer, a bailiff, and maybe a small group of witnesses.
We need a system where the disabled are just given what they need for decent housing, food and enough to purchase other needs so we don't have to deal with that crap that you have to go through in order to get a little something that's if qualify.
This kind of thinking makes me sick. Where in the hell is the money for your little utopia suppose to come from. You want a system where it is give me give me I want more set you up with a house a car food health care utilities clothing entertainment extra money and you think you deserve it all free while people like me and every other hard working family struggle and do without , we are getting up at 5 am to go to work in the winter and hot summer while people like you sleep as long as you want and do as you want. Listen to this piece of work he is going on vacation when he gets his car because he needs to get away , bullshit he needs to find a job and earn some self respect , I am 60 years old and have worked 44 years as a machinist people like this guy needs his ass kicked
Tool Maker, thats what the people in power want you to do. We already tried that concept and it sucks. There is no way that anyone will be able to afford that kind of thinking that were so accustom to. We have to change or we will die out with it. It cant last forever. Were not going to do that work with unequal work pay and laws as well stil intacted but if you want to continue to be apart of that world then the choice is yours. Sooner or later, Were going to force that government system to give back to the people what they need to survive off.
Hello Michael...Congrats on you SSDI!!! I got my SSI in 2012 & I was happy but out here in Denver, Co. it is so bloody expensive to rent here, so I ended up losing housing and have been homeless ever since..Thank God I got in with a 'Ugh super annoying older man, thats a total grouch' , but I avoid him as much as possible.. You know those kind of people that drain you just from being around em' for 5 mins or .. Out of all I have experienced with housing hun?I know these senior living + Disabled people allowed..Its so hard since & before the president came about..Dont turn down any Housing because later on down the road, you may be stuck in the streets..I too am Diabetic, Renal kidney failure and lousy doctors, & other things.. lol I'm listening to you right now talking how you are going to go on vacation etc.. buy necessities Comfy bed, furniture , a car.. vacation? eh? a little pushing it hun..I'm just looking out for you..Also there is nothing simple about being on Disability. Government wise..In the beginning I too was jacked around until they finally gave me the entire amount..I hired an Attorney that didn't do a bloody thing as far as proof and what not? I basically did it all so after they ripped me off for the retainer? I think its called..lol sorry I won back like $9000.. they got more? plus billed me for more!! of which I declined to pay, so they SSI took my last $2000 away from me.. and as soon I started this program SSI? Wouldn't you know it my kind of Luck..they stopped paying Clients monthly of the Pay Back, Oh Lord!! So it was every 3 mos!!?? Very Stressful Being on SSI & not getting enough to live alone..I need to be alone too, well with a dog or cat companion buddy..1. I'm agoraphobic 2. PTSD plus I just like being alone to a point that is of course..I'm an artist & writer..So I wish you the very Best!! You look & sound like a Very Nice Young Man..Don't allow them to jack you around..its hard for lol I cant stand talking to social security and all those kind of places..I stutter..then their rude..lol Oh well Keep your head up high and never give up..KK
GET QMV that will get the 100.00 dallers back and you wont have to pay for medical insurance with QMV you need to call SSI and ask For QMV or call medicaid medicare
I found this here in 2016....4 years later. Odd that they increased the base amount only ~$100. Now the base is $761/mo, but I'm curious: how did they justify giving you less than the base? (Maybe I missed it.)
that is right because at the time i was only approved for $581 and that wasnt before they made me pay for my medical. I honestly dont know wtf is going on with my claim but now im making $753 of which I pay $650 in rent $80 in cable/net and the rest of the money i get goes to buying cat food/litter and sometimes to cover my prescriptions. if i was living in california with everything the same just changing addresses i would get between $1500-$1800 but i dont want to move back to california. Yeah i may join shoot me the URL
im getting 960$ starting 2018 on SSDI just got my Medical Review and was Awarded to be continued.. im guessing for another 3 years.. i've heard that the amount you make is based on the Amount of work credits you have.. i guess every year you work counts as a credit.. am i correct? is that how your ex is making w1500 month???? man with that much i'd be able to live by my self.. and not even have to worry about working.. ive worked beofre tho and perfer to work just saying
im signing a 30 day nitice to move out of my apartment and will be homeless with my kids. now if im disabled and have been for the last 14 years since i was 12. will section 8 give me a housing choice vaulcher that same day cause im disabled and gonna be homeless. i heard that people with disabilities can get it without wanting on list. do you know if this is correct?
I have not heard this. I know that there are special circumstances, but I fear that you may be temporarily without a home. I would call your social worker ASAP and go down to the HUD office and talk to someone there too. I would also speak to your doctors about it and make them aware of what is going to happen.
I am not sure as I have never dealt with section 8 however there may be another program or something like that in your area that could work like that. The only time I have ever heard of a program doing that was through a program we have here called Community Action Plan. So you may want to check to see if your city has it. I would also go to the HUD office and see if there is something that they can do. But based on the reason that you are being evicted you may or may not get help. Also you do not have to sign anything that is your choice to do so, it will make things harder on you I believe because its showing noncompliance. I am sorry but I honestly have no idea. But if you have been on Section 8 for a few years, I do know that you can use your voucher to buy a house, and if they wont cover all of it, that you can apply for a USDA Home Loan which has a low Interest Rate. But you also have to have a credit score of 620 plus some other requirements. usdaloans.net/
There's no way you are getting both SS and Supplemental....Supplemental alone is about $700 a month. So your work history must not be of anything..otherwise you would get way more than that. I worked 20 years and I know the last time I checked if I became disabled now I would bring in about $1500 a month and then $640 on Supplemental income.
well I do every month I get a check for ssi and ssd I really don't understand why people have a hard time with what I say and type I don't make things up. I know what I get what was established by the courts and was deposited into my bank account every month.
its just low is what I am saying and I think there were others saying the same thing. If you have at least 10 years of past work history you would get more. But then again it goes by how much you brought home when you did work
+Kim Cook well I also pay for my medical insurance out of that money and if I lived in California I'd make $1500-$1800 so idk how our what is going on but I get one check for $142 and another for $600 so????
As you can probably see Jen, I get a lot of hate mail from people who are angry and ignorant...."Well you look and sound fine" well thats great and all but depression is a silent killer, and since having been diagnosed with diabetes, and the other mental and health issues things are on a downward spiral
Well your very first line of action is to get to a safe place and reach out to the Department on Aging to let them know what is happening. If you are homeless due to your DV then call or go to 800.799.SAFE (7233) www.thehotline.org/ Your other option is to call social security and report your situation.
You must have not worked very much. They go by your previous work record on how much Ssd you will get. I was on Ssd and i just turned 66 so now I'm on regular Ss. I also get a penison from my work. Good luck to you!
So crazy on how you have face discrimination base your disability. The government does not help well for people with disability needing a place to live, education and health care. The federal worker of SSD are so mean and they fail to schedule my appointment for annual income check-up.
it is really crappy how much they dont help. And then to have everyday people blast you and make fun of you because they think you are just trying to leech off the 'system' not fully understanding your needs or knowing fully what your disabilities or limitations are. You would be in tears for most of the crap that i delete because i dont want it on these videos. I make these videos for everyone and for a way to get things off my chest as a means of therapy. I have had so many people contact me and ask me questions or say that my videos have helped them. so i keep on doing them regardless of what people say, and how hurtful they are and what have you.
michael peterson I know what you are talking about exactly. I plan to make my own video eventually because I have something very important I need to tell people but it's very personal and people are so mean. So I plan to disable all comments. You are brave and strong to tolerate comments on your video.
kylemin3 everyone is entitled to their opinion and 9 times out of 10 they are just Trolls who are just trying to get a rise out of me and others. But I do hope you share your stories and make a video. If you ever need any help in doing so please feel free to contact me. I also have a blog which I started way before this channel. Maybe that is something you might think about doing too. But I find talking and putting a face to the words help viewers connect and make the person and their struggles real.
hellocupcakeitsme That's probably a good idea. I was just thinking about making a blog first, today actually, to make sure I had everything I needed to say down. But not sure anyone would read it. Still, it's a good way. I do sometimes take trolls too seriously maybe. Not knowing they are trolls..Thanks!
kylemin3 Well I blog for me regardless of readership. I promote my blog, have a facebook page for it and everything else, just iin case someone does read it or happens upon a post that i wrote and finds help/comfort/support/etc in it. YOU DO IT FOR YOU. And if you do a video channel dont worry about it being scripted. You say what comes to your mind. If you are rambling then ramble, get it off your chest. Look at the thousands of people here on youtube that dont do anything but make faces and say a bunch of wierd shit and they have hundreds if not thousands of followers/views. See making a video or a blog is like talking to yourself or writing in your diary. If your talking about a situation that makes you sad, cry that shit out on cam, it is about you, your experience, your release. Trolls are going to troll. If you get a negative comment read it and say to yourself "F**K YOU BUDDY" because who is ANY ONE in this world to make you feel like crap, to make you feel like you are less than. Who are they in your life to make you feel the way you do when they say the stuff they say? People are temporary in your life. Would you rather have a hundred pennys or just 4 quarters? You keep hold of those people who build you up and make you whole and add to your support and foundation. Not the insects that swarm around you and annoy you. You are a GOD among insects, swat them down and move on. I dont know you but I am sending you the strength, love, and support that you need. And if you need to talk to someone hit me up. I will always do my best to give you advice.
drs know the cure but refuse to share info telomeres shortening and dna im an example/ I went to college and learn all about it now im going to spread the word its your cells that age the minute we are born they age therefore you become ill from inside out i am an exAMPLE OF TRUTH I WAKE UP 97 AFTER MEALS 125 TO 150 NOW I'M GRATEFUL HOPE I EAT HEALTHY BALANCE DON'T GIVE UP HOPE
You really need to research this term.... nutriceutical or nutrimedical. Socrates is considered the father of western medicine said, "Let thy food be medicine and thy medicine be thy food." If your diabetes is truly incurable then I apologize to you. But I urge you to do some research.
ppl cannot judge anyone untill they have walked in their shoes. instead of being so negative, try to sympathize. if you don't have something nice to say thrn don't say it at all.
Right.
Amen. :)
I can relate to much of your situation, thank you for the video. I am sorry to read some of the other comments that are less than kind. It would be personally difficult for me to shrug off the negative comments I hear you have received. Feel proud that you are sharing your story and chipping away at the stigma and misinformation out there regarding disabilities. I would have a difficult time doing that. Keep up the fight.
thank you and i do try :)
What I don't understand is how people can so easily label persons on disability as lazy freeloaders when these are people that have for the most part worked all of their adult life and have generously paid into the system in order to qualify for SSDI one must have money paid into the system by (working) not sitting on their ass people need to think before they speak such ignorance
SweetP4real1 RIGHT?!! People don't understand how things work. Out of all my videos this one gets the most comments from people who are just ignorant. They don't watch my other videos where I tell every one my "story" but hey it's good for raising my views lol
SweetP4real1 true But this lazy F×ck isn't old enough to have worked and hasn't paid jack shit and has manageble conditions. treatable conditions. U cant see everyones disabilities but none that he has stated should keep you from working
Free Spirit The reason most people say it is because we see it every day. We also see people with diabetes, back pain, heart conditions and even down syndrome out hustling.
David Mason what you just said yes their out doing things but the part that you are forgetting is that all you just mentioned those people with them diagnosis are progressive and not reversible and it’s coming at a consequence meaning their speeding up their diagnoses, yes their is lazy fuckers but when your diagnosed with something that’s not curable and out doing things your putting your life in more in danger. Plain and simple their shortening their life span by 4 or 5 years eventually it’s going to catch up to them.
@@davidmason4037 And end up neglecting their conditions and dying 20 years earlier than they need to
Hud and Section 8 have been closed for the next 2-3 yrs in my area because the waiting list is so large.
I feel what you’re going through I am on disability as well and trying to find affordable housing. I am 63 and disabled and even the senior apartments are becoming expensive I would probably have to go further out of the city or leave the state where the cost-of-living is cheaper in order to find a decent place to live.
My experience with disability has been pretty good. I was 50 when I applied. I had 2 back surgeries but felt pretty good considering that I had done hard labor most my life and was kind of worn out. Two months after applying I had my first check. They told me that at 50, they weren't interested in training me for a new career. So I was granted permanent disability with free health care and free meds for life. Since then I've had 2 knee operations and a full knee replacement on the other leg. I even got a new leather recliner that helps me up electronically. After hearing so many stories of denial of benefits, I can't understand how I got so lucky. And my monthly benefits are $1640. I'm not trying to brag at all but I had to tell my positive disability story. I hope there's lots of you out there with stories like mine.
Wish you could help me get mines. Im facing dialysis and vision declined in both eyes. Been diabetic since 14 and going on 38. I guess in my town you work till you diw
@R Cee
Free health care and meds you say.....are you in another country? If you are in America you are not on Disability. You are on your state's taxpayers insurance medicaid leech program.
Yea housing is unfairly expensive
Sleepy American
Deport millions of ILLEGALS and see rents drop a lot and wages go up.

I got kicked out of the apartment I was living in because I wanted the owners to fix the loose electrical outlets that lead to one third of home fires. They do not spend much money on fixing these 24 properties they own, so it took them 2 months to partially fix the apartment I was in, but this was not before I was kicked out. The manager did not like me, so this was personal. She was severely apathetic and sarcastic. I was for the renters, not the owners.
These Arriba apartments in San Antonio Texas don't care about the renters. They let the renters fix their own apartments with their own money. Don't live there.
Be sure to document all repairs and get things in writing if you can. Never trust a verbal deal.
Get on the list for HUD😎
Christopher Schmidt they have over a 2 year wait just to get on a waiting list. Some programs said the lists are closed off at this time
You seem really sweet. Thanks for the helpful video. Congrats. I wish you the best of everything. 😊
Medicare part B is for medical care
Part A is for the hospital
My SSDI payments are just short of two grand, I have served in the military for thirty years. I am now getting back from the system what I put into the system. If you are young working minimum wage jobs and now have medical issues why would you think that your approved SSDI payments should cover most of your costs of living. Regardless of any diagnoses at your age and highest earnings, you will always be at the bottom tier of SSDI payments.
hello i feel so much for you this is why i do what i do for the poor and all i do non profit donation site and my dream is to help people like you i already have help many many communities which is the people who suffer i have conquer diabetes im on mmf i literally wake up normal now google telomeres diabetes repair cells i was on 3 shots to 2 to 1 to o my body weight perfect 113 49 and feel 30 but im here to say there is hope for people like me to help you

Just pray and have faith in god. Hang in there. God Bless
I have only worked one job under the table and that was a taxi driving job of which i worked 3 weeks. Otherwise all the other jobs ive had have been tax paying jobs.
Yeah I have changed the way i eat and am making small obtainable goals. Thank you for your input :) what city do you live in?
Thank you Tom, it is an ongoing battle still. Some of the medications that I use to take and need to take are not covered by any of the Medicare parts that I am on (A B and D I believe) my limited income is $731 after they take out my medicare payments, my rent is $650 a month and after I pay the 2 bills that i have i am left with $3 a month to survive on. I receive $170 in Food Stamps which with the outrageous prices of food in the area I live in is less than enough to support me.
I hope things are working out for you well friend! I struggle with a lot of the same mental disabilities as yourself. I just moved here to Washington about 8 months ago from the state of Michigan where I'm originally from. I'm not on disability but I get help from dshs right now, there are a lot of resources and assistance here in King County as well.
Cory Modzeleski Yeah King County is full of resources and programs. But I love living in Jefferson. Its a smaller less "rich" county but it has a lot of great people who really do try and help. Things are not 100% but i would say at least 75% just small baby steps. The only thing I wish they would do is increase my payments so that I had more than $20 for the month after I paid everything. But even then I really cant complain. If you need help finding things here in Wa please let me know and I will do my best to help. I dont know much about King but I do know quite a bit about Kitsap and Jefferson.
If you are proofer SS D and also get approved for SSI and also get a supplemental insurance that'll help out with your Medicaid will be zero cost to you call up your local so security disability office in your local area thank you
I have looked into different ways of increasing my payout and decreasing my medicare costs and unfortunately I just hit walls all the time. With my Part D coverage I have to spend $140 in a year before it becomes free. So typically from Jan - April I have to pay out of pocket foe everything then after that $140 mark its free. The only thing I havent looked into is finding a pro-bono lawyer who is a social security bull dog and see if some how my case was mismanaged or what happened because I didnt get 1/4 of the back pay i was supposed to.
hellocupcakeitsme you should do a fair hearing they usually give you what ur asking for when u get a fair hearing, i represented myself, the judge couldnt believe i was denied.
Melanie Seo
I am still try to get benefits after my disabilities in 2011 took up to 2014 to be approved for sad benefits and had to pay for a gap insurance and got no help from any office to helped me but was lied. Too. Still trying to my life back but I hootenanny sicker do to no help and I am alone.
Melanie Serrano hi colette I was to sick to fight for myself and going down. What do you do when you appeal? Thanks tired of lies and abuse.?
Thanks for the video. It’s been years since you made this, how are you doing now? I’m 47 now and I’ve been on disability since I was 27. Cancer physically wrecked this body of mine. Hope you’re doing well
Im doing ok. Still just trying to get by. Im thankfully still in the same place. My landlord worked with me and I was able to pay him back over the years. However 98% of my income goes to paying rent. Really have to watch my spending as SSDI doesn't keep up with the cost of living. Having new health issues it seems like all the time. But trying to stay positive, and just get through this COVID BS like everyone else. Thanks for your comment. Hope you subscribed ;)
Hi unfortunately I am not sure about the areas within your state that has these resources available to you. However, you could go to your local public assistance office and they should be able to help you with locating them. You could try New Jersey Housing Resource Center or do a quick google search for your area.
Oh, wow, dude. How could you pay for rent anywhere when you get that low an amount for SSDI? I feel bad for you; I'll pray for you. God bless you!
thank you ive been struggling for 5 years now paying $650 out of my $755 SSDI check its hard!
I'm sorry to hear about your struggle. It took me over two years to get SSDI and I was homeless for three years. Couldn't pay my car insurance and had to ride the bus for two years. Yet I got closer to God. Writing a book about the experience. It's titled "Trial by Fire: My Homeless Journey."
Yeah being homeless is no fun what so ever. Thankfully im doing "better" than when I did this video. But I fear being homeless again all the time. I have been trying to take steps to getting an RV or something like that just so that if it comes to me having to leave where I currently live i wont be homeless again. Many people see this video and comment all kinds of BS not knowing what I have and am going through. But I am glad that from the sounds of it, that you are moving forward too. I would love to get a copy of your book when you release it.
Hi, again! Where do you live? I was stuck in three different shelters in Pinellas County, Florida. That's in the Tampa Bay area. Sadly, Pinellas has the most of any Bay area counties as far as number of shelters. I've subscribed. Please send me your e-mail address. Maybe we can help each other with advice, etc. I'd be happy to send you the book but still writing it. Pray for me that I get it published. Thanks!
Lisa Cunningham I live on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state my email is hellocupcakeitsme@gmail.com
Thank you for the sentiment :)
Great video! God bless you. You're so brave and inspiring. Thanks for posting.
Just found your video. I hope you found a good place to move. I will have to see if you posted updates. I will add this and it was just my situation. I am not on disability. But I did move to a 14 unit apartment complex. Everyone there besides myself were on social security. They made wonderful neighbors. Everyone went to bed early which worked great. I did first shift at that time. No kids running around screaming. No loud music blaring all hours of the night. So sometimes older is better. Good luck to you. The government sure doesn't give you much to live off of. That has to be hard. Prayers all is going well for you. 💙
Thanks for sharing. I'm too bipolar and depression is real etc but in this disability living world we have to stick together and keep eachother encouraged. I love you all as if you all were my sisters and brothers because you all are in Christ. I'm from Florida currently waiting on my. Florida Lottery Jackpot Powerball winnings. Stay in great spirits lets continue to RESPECT OURSELVES AND EACHOTHER. Jesus has not forgotten us and he loves us all the main thing is to live with love work(not giving up working on our goals and challenges we may face in our lives) and keeping faith.
you must never worked I worked until I was in my forties,then I became disabled my check is $1450 I don't know where you live but I live in Miami
JEHUDAH CRY OUT well I worked from 18 to 27 many times 6 days a week from 7am to 6pm without a lunch did that shift fir 5 months straight but at that time I was just barely getting $9.50hr
How big your check is depends on how much you earned while working.
Did you get a lawyer
I'm on Social Security Disability for my heart and broken back. I still work to help make ends meet. You can't live on disability alone. Also, the older you are and more you have paid into the system, the more your payments are.
+Dub Coco Yes, $500 didn't seem like very much. I wondered if he wasn't receiving SSI (Supplemental Security Income) instead. I thought one would at least get $800 a month on Soc. Sec. disability. I'm now trying to get on disability. I thought I might get approved easier under the 'grid rules' because at 55 I can't do the work that I was doing when I was younger, but I still got denied and now have to have a hearing.
+Lani Moore I get both SSI and SSD to make $751. It is best that you have a court hearing because the judge will give you a fairer ruling than someone sitting at a desk. The judge granted mine the same day as my hearing. But that was also because he was presented with over 3000 pages in my case file and said "you are one of the most eligible cases ive seen come across my desk in the last 10 years" prior to that i was denied 5 times and had a meeting with my lawyer 4 times. I applied in 2010 and was granted in 2012.
+hellocupcakeitsme Thank you. I was also told I could apply for both SSDI and SSI since I qualified for both, so I will see how it goes. I went to a hearing a few weeks ago, but they suggested I get an attorney and then reschedule. They 'claim' it will go better with a disability attorney.
+Lani Moore Yes having a legal advocate really does help because many times there is tons of paperwork and legal jargon that is tossed around and what have you and if you get yourself a good attorney then you are more likely to get your claim. HOWEVER, it was my experience that my attorney made me pay back a huge percentage of my back pay to the state and social services, as well as taking a hefty fee. So there is positive and negative.
What are these jobs for those of us who are sick, handicapped, and mental? I'd love to hear about them!
u can have the state pay for your medicare premiums when u apply for foodstamps and stuff
Thank you for this information im going to look into it this coming week
hellocupcakeitsme Yes u can they pay for mine and I am low enough I get 1,020 a mth and the state pays it for me
R Smith I was denied several times before I had to get a lawyer. It is always good to have been denied at least 3 times before looking for legal help. When choosing a lawyer make sure that they specialize in Social Security Claims. Also make sure that they take all of their costs off the top and that you will not be required to pay any additional fees after the settlement. In my case, I had to pay an additional $135 to my lawyer after she took her percentage, and she made me pay back the public assistance that I received during my time waiting for a trial. I was awarded $28k but ended up only getting about $9k back and that was broken into 4 or 5 payments every 6 months. Each payment was less than $1500.
+samsonpker there was a program here in Washington state called GAX which paid out of monthly stipend and food assistance so I had to pay back all the money that I received but not the food stamps. and your guess is as good as mine as to the amount that I received back I really think that I got gouged and by the attorney and the fact that I had to pay back state benefits cuz everyone else that I had spoken to have said they didn't have to do that
hellocupcakeitsme what kind of money did you get while your case was pending. I live in Chicago and i wonder if they have something like that here .
Glenn Smith back then there were a few programs here GA-U. Washington State provides cash grants
and medical assistance to low-income adults
without dependents who are temporarily unable
to work due to a physical or mental disability
that lasts at least 90 days. General Assistance-
Unemployable (GA-U) is a program of last
resort; to be eligible, individuals must be
ineligible for most other forms of public
assistance, including Temporary Assistance for
Needy Families (TANF)
And then there was the program that I was on which was GA-X
GA-X. Individuals with long-term disabilities
(those expected to last 12 months or more)
apply for federal Supplemental Security Income
(SSI); while they await approval, the state
provides General Assistance-Expedited (GA-X)
cash grants. GA-X clients are eligible for
Medicaid. Once SSI benefits are approved, the
state is reimbursed by the federal government
for GA-X expenditures.
The new program that they have is called ABD (Aged, Blind, Disabled)
The Aged, Blind, or Disabled (ABD) program provides cash assistance to eligible low-income adults who are age 65 or older, blind, or determined likely to meet Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability criteria based on a physical or mental impairment that is expected to last at least 12 consecutive months.
The Aged, Blind or Disabled cash assistance program provides a maximum monthly cash grant of $197.00.
So as for the programs in your area I'm not all that sure. But I'm pretty certain that all states have simular programs.

hellocupcakeitsme thanks bro for the info. love you dude God Bless.
i agree normally i delete negative comments because the people who are suffering from the same things im going through i dont want them to be assaulted by other peoples ignorance.
I appreciate your sharing here about this very difficult situation. It is shameful to shaft you and people like you in this inhumane way. I live in Ontario and work with other people as human rights and anti-poverty activists. We have been doing this since 2010. Our name is HAMILTON COALITION AGAINST POVERTY . We are on Facebook . I will continue to follow up here.
Thank you Lisa. Yes it can be very difficult because people have so many preconceived notions about what is "wrong" with someone who is young and on SSI/SSD. I face people calling me all types of horrid things, or making quick decisions about my life. Even some of my best friends have suggested that I am just "faking it". I just keep doing me because my doctors and I know what is going on and I dont need to prove or get approval from any one. As for the low income housing, here in Jefferson County, WA in the area that I am in we only have 4-5 complexes that are low income, the rest are disabled/senior living. 3 of them are ran by a lady who is a real b***h and is only in it for herself and to make her clique happy.
Hi there. Okay, let me say to start off with that I am not techy much. It took me 8 yrs. to figure out this commenting here an dtalking on UA-cam. Go figure. so please bear with me. I am a very active member of an anti-poverty group HAMILTON COALITION AGAINST POVERTY ( HCAP ) in Hamilton, Ontario Canada. We have been active for 4 and a half years now. We do a weekly picket in front of a government affiliated agency called ONTARIO WORKS that is supposed to assist people with finding jobs, facilitating paper work stuff, connecting with needed community agencies, assisting with finding appropriate housing and doing liason work, counselling , assisting with finding Dr. etc. etc. However, this OW has been around for too long and are basically a big concrete bureaucratic anchor not a balloon anymore. You understand ? So we are trying to remove this monolithic barrier from the path of poor people by gradually chippin gaway at it. Lately , we have seemed to struck a chord . YEAH... so we plug along. We now are doing monthly peoples' public forums re : important issues like bed bugs, housing, homelessness, food req'ts, accessibility, scuzzy landlords..yeah the list goes on. We will continue to do this monthly. As well, we are doing a small bit of individual advocacy for effected people in Hamilton. Just wanted to up-date you. There are many many groups in Ontario and Canada similar to us but our action is direct.. no petitions, no begging, no grovelling , just in their faces. We have a FB page called HAMILTON COALITION AGAINST POVERTY. Please check it out and share it around. We are working to be a city role model for other cities. you know what I mean? :) We also have a running HCAP page about the peoples' forum on bed bugs. Please check that out as well. You are definitley stuck in a tough place there my friend. Please share more with me and tell your friends and family about HCAP. I want to stay in touch with you okay. :) Just remember you are NOTalone. Sincerely,Lisa HCAP
thank you
Hi there Cupcake. Let's keep in touch on line here. WE at Hamilton Coalition against Poverty are seriously committed to completely getting rid of poverty and the crap that drags along with it. We are direct action...not petitions or begging or short term occupies . We work hard at getting current research and info in important related areas. It would be great if we could share info and encourage each other and work together across borders to share the info and expand our territory so to speak. How do you feel about that? Take care, Lisa HCAP
Hi Lisa, that sounds great. I have also sent you a friends request on Facebook on the HAMILTON COALITION AGAINST POVERTY facebook page so check your others folder as that is where the message was sent. Feel free to send me a personal request too.
Hi. I bought a old rv for a thousand dollars. I pay 325 lot rent if I stay in town. Free if I go to the woods. Also disability changed their laws. They now release your back pay in increments. Don't expect one large amount of money. Sorry for your struggles. My heart goes out to you. Stay positive friend
Jesus loves you brother
Hi there Baybay,
for me it took about 2 years from 2010 to 2012 but they had me do a complete physiological profile and medical testings before I finally got a judge to see me. Plus I was going through the state, which took even longer. If you are going through the state expect that its going to take a bit longer. If you go directly through a lawyer then it might be sooner. However, be warned that you will have to pay back all lawyer and state fees before getting a disbursement.
If anyone needs help you can go on google or bing type in ( low income program ( your city or county ) your state ) y'all will be amazed what all pops up.
Jeannie Michelle Phillips thanks bro.😇😇😇😇😇😇
i am on ssid i get 1236 a month still can't get low income housing or section 8 i just bought a trailer that need alot of work from plumbing to electrical. had to live somewhere
yeah i know how that is. I have had friends take whatever they could..thankfully since the making of this video things have kinda worked themselves out. I wish I got more than the $753 but its better than nothing i guess.
I'm only mildly autistic. Not quite autistic enough for my parents to have put me on SSI. They don't think I can hold up a job. Thats a ludicrous excuse. I'm a 25 year old adult but I'm under the "adult guardianship" which is also ludicrous. Doctors are the worst ones to ask about mental health.
if there is an ALDI near you, shop for fresh veggies there and if you drink milk, drink skim, ALDI has the best prices, I am a type 2 Diabetic and had to make a lot of changes in my diet, I eat Egg Beaters now and Butterball Turkey bacon for BK, a Pear for lunch or Banana check and see if Food Depot is near you we shop there, Blue Bonnet Lite margarine is all I use, extra virgin olive oil too, get a George Forman grill it will make a difference, shop at Goodwill, you will find one.
nope didnt offend, I deleted your original comment. Just if your upset by something I post please dont write hateful things in the comments for everyone to read. There is enough of that on UA-cam and I do not appreciate it. If what I have to say or post about offends you or upsets you please dont view my videos any more.
Thanks :)
We operate a non profit low income housing facility and for the most part find it a very rewarding experience. Too bad some people have so much trouble qualifying.
it has been my experience that 95% of the properties that are geared toward low income or even subsidized housing and take/accept disability or social security are either places for 55+ or not in the best neighborhoods. I understand that not everyone who is in low income housing are "bad' people, but more often than not there are those folks who are. I have since posting this video, looked at low income and disabled subsidized housing and have found that I either have to be on some waiting list that is a game of popularity, or that I would have to live within a senior housing unit. Most of which even though the complex is part of the Equal Housing Act, still resist or will not allow a person of my age to live within their complex/community. Even though I am for the most part a very quite person, with little to no foot traffic coming in and out of my residence. It is hard to find a happy medium. Here in Jefferson County Washington, we have only a hand full of apartments/complexes that allow for low income. These places are filled to the rafters with persons of questionable backgrounds, and drug addicted, and for a lack of better description "low class" people.
I don't not expect low income mansions in Beverly Hills, but it would be nice to feel safe in the housing and maybe even see strict guidelines revolving around drug use. Here in Washington, Marijuana is legal now, even though it is not federally recognized, but with Marijuana being an acceptable form of drug use, persons who test positive for meth and other drugs unless prescribed by a doctor, should not be allowed to benefit from these programs. I know that would leave many families homeless or more children in the foster system. But even then I have seen Landlords and other Property Managers look the other way due to the fact that the persons in question were friends or some how benefited them in someway. Also many people in my situation do not know about the programs available to them, and because of local government and red tape and shut doors, many get discouraged and end up just doing whatever they can. It sometimes feels like the checks and balances are being looked at as "guidelines" and that these local offices and agencies do what they will or want. I have become a unofficial Renter/Tenets Rights activist here in Jeff Co because so many of the landlords in the area bully and harass their tenets and break the law at every turn. I monitor the rental boards on Facebook for my local area, and try and help out when i can by providing people with the laws governing their rights as tenets and as landlords. And by doing so have called attention to Landlords in the area which has kind of put the spot light on me should I need a new place to go.
It IS the thought that counts when it comes to gifts :)
I am grateful for what I have and am able to do. But the medicare system is flawed. When I had state medical, I was never denied services, or medications. The only thing that I wish I had was dental, because being a diabetic, my teeth are becoming bad which will lead to other health issues and problems. But as I said before I am thankful, just wish my lawyer didnt stiff me and would have fought a bit harder for me.
You are very lucky Mr cupcake, mental issues are very hard to prove so your Dr's must of been top notch indeed to pull it off so give you lawyer some respect. Just so you know many mental issues that disability did approve for are now going to be excluded and when you go for your next evaluation for disability don't be surprised you do not qualify. Yes just so you know I too am on disability, so yeah I have lots of experience dealing with the Feds.
@@Freemen0069 yeah I know things have changed a bit. But it wasn't 100% mental health issues it was some physical issues that have not gotten better. But i'll admit i'm scared of losing what benefits i do have and being homeless. But i just keep pushing that things will somehow work themselves out. But the original diagnosis was not an "easy" one. I had to go through several state and federal doctors and disability specialists etc. It was difficult and scary because i was by myself trying to navigate it and my own mental health issues too.
I live by myself with my cat in hud housing. I've applied for SSD. Not sure if my case will be approved or denied but for the past 9 months I've been in chronic pain it has interfered with my work. My manager is cutting my hours from 27 hrs a week down to 10 - 15. I found out from a Rheumatologist that I have degenerative joint disease shown on a CT scan. I went from a healthy weight 130 down to 102 lbs. The pain has caused depression anxiety. I also have funky vision. I drive in the day time my vision is worse. I was born with an eye condition called retinopathy of prematurity. My bones hurt a lot. The doctor is trying me on different medications for Osteoarthritis. I'm young 26. It's more common in older people. It's mentally hard to cope with I never thought I'd have this form of arthiritis.
I hope and pray for u
sorry to tell you this but my disability took 7 years and had to go all the way to the supreem court to be overturned. so good luck on alot quicker result than mine Sarah
I felt bad being on social security benefits but since I was 4 years old I have been sick from my kidneys, had depression and psychosis when I was a teenager then at age 21 I had sleep apnea and started getting seizures. I am in my twenties still and still have health problems but always have wanted to work. I atleast completed my college degree and my health is getting better. I also was going to start to work part time but then covid came :( but im going to work online just need to get my own place though.
Yeah it is difficult to accomplish at times. I am constantly scared of being homeless again. If I lose as much as $40-$60 from my monthly allotment im pretty much screwed. And with bills constantly going up it really hard.
Have you gone to your local DSHS (Department of Social and Health Services) aka "the welfare office" and talked to them about helping you get in contact with a Disability Job Coach? Most states have some type of specialist that help differently abled persons find jobs that are tailored to their specific needs. Its sometimes called FCS (Foundational Community Supports) is a program offering benefits for supportive housing and supported employment for Medicaid-eligible beneficiaries with complex needs.
Either way, dont be to down on yourself about not being able to work right now. Something will come along when its time.
@@hellocupcakeitsme I think I have talked to a job coach when I was younger in the social security office and I think they told me I could apply for working in mail. I have been living in housing projects with my mom before but now I live in a house with my mom and other family members and I don't even got my own room lol I'm in my twenties and want to be independent from my mom. It has been hard but thankfully my kidneys are still good and Im not in no dialysis and my overall health is getting a bit better. I saw a video on continumm care that helps if you are homeless or about to be homeless. It is part HUD. I am going to sign in that program and in section 8 and see where God leads me.
How to get housing
Well typically I would agree, however, if you are saying that my claim is BS I would like to inform you that its not. I have an 1900 page document that states all the issues both medical and mental that the judge over looked and said that I was a candidate And smokers really need the help to quite smoking. Im glad I dont smoke..
My sister wants me to become Raw Vegan, she has lost like 90lbs and is super happy, I on the other hand cant make that switch as it makes me sick everytime i try to eat those foods :( I would love to otherwise just to lose some weight. The one diet that I tried that worked well for me was Atkins I lost a GRIP of weight. I hope the move goes well for you and that you can find employment.
I'm not a troll , I wasn't looking for this video. It was one that UA-cam suggested.
Hope things are going good for you now.I live in Florida and rents are sky high now.You seem like a very sweet guy .
Thank you Sheri. Things have gotten a bit better. I was finally able to pay my back rent off. Still struggling but isnt that everyone now days?
True they ust had a huge write up in thepaper yesterday about how there is no affordable houses or apt to rent aound here.I pay my rent but I think this house is going into forcloser.I am really scared because I have pets and my roommates have pets too.I am on SSID.
I have panic attacks social anxiety depression post stress disorder not an easy life and then when you try to get an apartment on what money you have section 8 here where I'm at. All bottled up
I am also a diabetic and have bi polar and severe depression and I'm in major pain all over my body constantly and I still hold a job and do not receive any type of assistance at all. And am a full time mother as well. Life's rough, you gotta get control of your emotions and really get it together, it's life,deal with it. I'm really not trying to be mean at all,it's just I think you need to be told the reality, I take no meds and also struggle with the most severe case of anxiety as well.
Jessica l well that's you some people have it in them to fight others don't you're strong because you have kids if something took them from you you wouldn't still be strong "just dealing with it" is the worse thin someone could ever say to someone with "our" condition
hellocupcakeitsme I know but I've just been through so many hardships from a very young age so you are right I've had to become very strong, I meant no offense though. The absolutely worst thing about having diabetes for me has been the severe nerve damage to my feet,it's has been the worst pain I've ever really dealt with, do you have nerve damage like that at all? my twin brother also has diabetes, but type 1 and he is on disability, his vision is messed up because of the nerve damage. And I absolutely went through the same thing with my doctor, she's horrible, I've told her repeatedly about my feet and she treats me like I'm just making it up or some shit,so frustrating!
+Jessica l yah I'm getting nerve damage in my feet in my legs and my back thankfully not in my eyes yet.I've been trying to go vegetarian or at least "part time" I've gotten my a1c down from 14.5 to 7.2 so I'm trying hard
I've been going through some similar stuff, I was recently diagnosed with severe panic disorder and depression and a mild form of agoraphobia, and it's made it to where I can hardly do anything anymore or hold down a job the way I used to. I've been curious about disability for people with panic disorder and severe anxiety. You seem to know a lot about it. Do you have a Facebook or some way I could private message you?
yeah you email me at hellocupcakeitsme@gmail.com or you can find my facebook page facebook.com/hellocupcake4u let me know if those work
I hope only for the best for you and your family, i understand how bad it can get with only having a small amount of money and trying to feed everyone its hard.
you said Jefferson County, so I do know that you are aware that most one-bedroom apartments are $900, and that's not including Xcel Bill utilities xcetera. Best luck to you!
yeah rent here in Jefferson County WA is outrageous and damn near impossible to afford.
hellocupcakeitsme You aint seen high rents till you see em in my neck o the woods. Here just north of san francisco in petaluma in sonoma county the senior apt complex i live at just raised the rents. My one bedroom apt went from $910.00 to $1305.00 but i have a section 8 voucher which pays most of my rent. Im disabled and have been plugged into the system for about 15 years. At this time while im technically living under the poverty line lifes not so bad. I have great pain most of the time but I'm not starving although i wish i could get food stamps. You can't get stamps when your on ssd, only afdc or some homeless. So just when you feel somewhat at ease you hear about big cuts. Ca is a very blue state so we will see what happens, by the way sonoma has some of the highest homeless population in the country. So in finally ending good luck to you and all the rest of us on the dole in the country.
Wow really..? So you some how have been with me my whole life to know my work history..hmm the only Julio I know is a gay waiter in Palm Springs CA. As for the 'free' car, please tell whom ever I happen to buy it from not to charge me ok you'll be doing me a solid. As for having a nice life, thank you I will try my best. If you must know I've worked since I was 15 and only became unable to work in 2012. But thank you for your comment and encouraging words :)
Hi. Just stay on your state medical I will explain it in a bit to you. That will be better for you right now anyways. I have a question for you? How long ago did you file for your SSI? I ask this because you will get back pay in a lump some. If it was 1 year you will get $6,972. If its 2 years you will get $13,944. If its 3 years you will get $20,916. If its 4 years you will get $ 27,888. I will explain the medicare, If you take the Medicare part D they will take $100 dollars a month out of your monthly check but also your back pay will also be less if you take the Medicare because they will count your monthly SSI pay as $461 instead of $581. And also listening to your vidio today, You really need to watch what you say on vidio and what you post on UA-cam and Facebook and also on any other social media website you post on. Thats very important!! because the Fedral Government and State Government will use anything you say or do against you, espeically If you say your depression is not a issue lately? or say your going on a vacation? Don't say those things at all, We all know what you mean but the Government will use anything against you for sure. Im just looking out for you and I hope your doing well. Take care. Hawk Out!!
Hawktangofive good info bro.
That's not true in Washington state. I just got my disability 8 months ago. They changed the laws. They now only release back pay in 6 month intervals. You don't get one large payment anymore. Mine have been 2 thousand dollars each. Then at one year you will receive the balance. Go check. Trust me on this. I am living it. Peace friend.
How are you doing now? 2015? Sounds like you were just getting SSI not SSDI. Because if you worked any length of time, say, 15 years or so you would of been able to get more through SSDI.
Hello Terrie Wixson I am doing as well as can be expected. I manage to make ends meet for the most part. Thankfully my sister pays my electric bill and my mom pays my cell phone, which is $130 every 3 months through straight talk. The only thing I wish is that I did get a little more, even $200-$300 more would completely make a difference in my life. I know if I was living in california I would be collecting almost $1500 a month. And I do get SSDI. So with the $741 i get I am able to pay my $650 rent and my $72.82 Cable/Internet bill and then the money I have left over goes to purchasing litter and food for my 2 cats. So im making enough to survive but not enough to live.
I was surprise I heard from you! Thank you for your reply.
But my question to you was" do you get SSDI" also? If you haven't applied you should. I think that would help a lot. Where do you live? I've never heard of the Free Store, I would love to go there bc sometimes a little would help. Hope to here from you soon
Terrie Wixson I did answer about the SSDI :) yes I do receive that. I get $741.00 combined with my SSI and SSD, unless SSDI is something different then no I do not get that. I live in Washington State on The Olympic Peninsula. The "Free" store is no longer free, but it is a STEEPLY discounted thrift store that will sometimes give the items to you for free if you are in need. But what it was, was a place where people donated things and it was like a Goodwill or other thrift store except that everything was basically free. Then they started having prices on some things like lamps and beds etc, now because of greed within the church who started it, now everything is priced.
Hi again.
Yes SSDI I think is different than what you get bc you should be getting a lot more than $741. Unless you don't have a very long work history. SSDI is for someone who is Physically or Mentally Handicapped.
Hope I don't sound nosey, just trying to help.
Take care.
Terrie Wixson ok if it is different then i dont have it. I should look into it. A friend of mine just told me about this program that they got on to that made the state pay for medicare so im going to see about that so that would be another $150-$200 back because i have to pay for my medical. And your not being nosy i am happy to answer any questions and recieive all the info i can. Part of the reason i started blogging and doing videos :)
go to your foodstamp office and tell them u cant afford to pay for part b and they make a pay for b because of income,county will also pay 98 % of prop tax,
greg thomas I'm going to do this this coming year so I don't have to do my yearly deductible
Yeah, it was an easy change. I couldn't give up sugar though. Luckily, I have genes against diabetes, so I'm not as likely to get it. I'm sorry you have it. I live in Springfield, MO, but I'm moving back to Fayetteville soon, which is in Arkansas, so I can try to work again. I have to wait for my lease to run out though.
I live in New Jersey & I wanted to know the areas that have low income housing & accept ssd.
what does qmv stand for...i cant seem to find any info on it :(
yeah I live in Rhode Island it doesn't make much different I get 782 but the rent is anywhere from $700 to $600 for a one bedroom which is extremely hard to find the $600 one and the most f*****-up thing about it all is the government only allows you to save up to $1,200 when you're collecting SSI and also how you going to do this when you're paying for basic necessities plus if you have a roommate you have to pay for half that rent until you can find a place of your own and if you don't have a roommate you're pretty much fuck let us pray for help because the government sure ain't doing nothing
It seems impossible to live in our home while only being able to receive SSI I mean I wish I could work so I can get more money but I can't I have problems that stop me from doing so so I have no choice and there's no programs out there that will help me supplement my rent
Im sorry to hear that. It is tough out there and only getting worse. Hopefully you can apply for section 8 or HUD to get a place. they just passed a bill that makes it illegal for landlords and property management from discriminating against people on section 8 or other federally funded programs. Doesnt matter if it is a privately owned home or not. It goes into effect 3/31/19
Did you know exercise can help you feel better? I would like to know more about your situation because I think I can help you and other people in your similar situiation with some economical and environmentall ideas.
I had to cut cholesterol completely out of my diet due to my medicine. I don't mind. I don't like butter or eggs anyway. I just ate them because they came with my stuff. They always say I'm depressed, but I'm really pessimistic. You should come to my city because we have a lot of good low income housing, but I understand you don't want to move.
SICKENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jim dandy I know right how the hell fo they expect you to live on that shit. but things have gotten a bit better this was after all about 5yrs ago give or take. not much of an improvement but better than nothing
I WONT MAKE A CLAIM BUT I WILL CLAIM TRUTH THE HUMAN DNA AND AGING CELLS WHAT HAPPENDS WHEN TELOMERES SHORTEN OR BREAK OFF ASK YOUR DRS WHAT IT MEANS THEY ALL STUDY BEFORE BECOMING A DR I SAY NO MORE GOD BLESS YOU
im sorry that its been over 3 months but what is qmv?
You will be alright bro just pray
I would give you the names of the shows or the sites but I'm not sure if that would violate something.
I can't get shit. I'm type 1 diabetic, have diabetic retinopathy, stage 3 and stage 4 kidney failure and have had 16 eye surgery in two yrs, and haven't gave up or stopped working, I'm depressed And full of anxiety due to possible dialysis, I ve been diabetic since I was 14 yrs old, insulin dependent, and now I'm 38. No family or kid ... I've worked since 16 yrs old, I refuse to give up on myself. I push myself daily, because I know they don't want to give you anything at social security... I've brought a home 10 yrs ago and worked two jobs from 19 to 36 yrs. I just recently got diagnosed with the complications that I have. I hate asking social services for anything, folks can have kids and get help before you can be sick and get help. That's how it is in VA. Work till you die!!! You look healthy enough to work, you sitting on UA-cam. You can clean, wash cars, take phone calls, you can do something. My vision is declined an so is my kidneys and I push myself daily!!!!
Well I respect your struggles and I am sorry that you "can't get shit" maybe you should speak to a Disability Lawyer or one who specializes in SSDI cases. Thanks for using your limited eye sight to view my videos and take time to comment. It means everything to me. I hope you have a blessed day/week/month/year. And if you haven't done so already, please hit the like and subscribe button.
Through the state program they do have a benefit that pays your part D!! They pay mine ;) Hope this helps :)
Wow. Amazing! I realize this is old video however that doesn't matter as far as yours being a great story....fairytale (DREAM) for someone who's disabled...like myself.
So yes, indeed I enjoyed it. Back to reality though-
I'll continue TRYING TO BARELY EXIST as THIS certainly is not 'living' and I'll continue battling my state dhs as I have been ALONE since officially few 2014... When they cut all my benefits WITHOUT providing any reason WHY.
THIS IS AMERICA FOLKS! My fine USA.
Ask not what your country can do FOR YOU instead I suggest you ask yourself what your country will do TO YOU. Uhh ohh,
It's not good. Promise! I was left for dead by underage dui, he fled. Problem is I didn't DIE, he basically turned his back and walked away from my blood covered body, after we made eye contact, surely knowing I was NOT DEAD. And that moment life as I'd known it for 20+ years was...
THE END
It's sad what this man is going through in order to get SSDI and how little he will receive in comparison to all of the ailments he is going through.
your ssi will go up in time i was receiving the same and not to long after i was receiving $839 and thats after they deduct $50 for nack pay from when my mom was my payee
hellocupcakeitsme How long did it take you to get your disability? Did you get denied a couple of times and then have to go in front of a judge to get it ordered? Sorry for asking all the questions but, I'm curious because, I have been denied twice and then I have a hearing for later this year. I'm wondering if you're more likely to get it when you go before a judge? Do you still live in the same place that you did when you recorded this video?
I was denied i think a total of 4 times. But during that time I had to see a team of specialists. I had to see county and state doctors, and i had to see a social worker, county mental health, then i had to be reviewed by a state psychiatrist like 2 or 3 times. Then I was told by the county to get a lawyer. I then saw my lawyer 2 times and then went before the judge. I began applying for it back in 2010 and was issued it in 2013. I then had to pay back all the money that was issued to me by the state and county while i was awaiting my court hearing. Then I had to pay my lawyers fee plus $130. Yes I still live in the same place. I was able to get things kinda figured out. I now get $751 a month and $160-$170 for food. My rent is $650 my internet/cable is $80 which leaves me $20 for the rest of the month. Then I found that there is a program that most counties offer for persons who have therapy and service animals that they will issue a check to cover their monthly expenses so I get $33.66 for that. But it still isnt really enough to cover everything. I really dont even make enough to make it a full month for food sometimes. Thankfully when and if I can get a ride, there is a food bank right down the street that is open every Wednesday, but i dont get to utilize it all that often, and even then when im able to, a lot of the stuff is only a day or so from going bad. There is never "fresh" fruit and veggies like they want you to believe. And they play favorites. If you have a small family like 1-3 people you will never be offered cheese or milk or other dairy product, except yogurt, and even then its 1 per person. There has been times when Ive gotten things home and found that it looked good but when i went to use it, there was all kinds of mold and what have you on the side you couldnt see. They boast that they give away stuff for a weeks worth of healthy meals, but your lucky if you get 2 or 3 days worth of meals. Its typically just fillers and some 'staples' like rice, beans, pasta, and bread. If it wasnt for my family I wouldnt have electricity or a phone. My sister does the electric and my mom does my cell phone which is prepaid through Straight Talk. She pays 3 months at a time which comes out to $180 with taxes i think. I do have an "Obama Phone" but that is only used for emergencies since there is only 250 minutes a month on that and unlimited texting. And dont be sorry for the questions, I like the interaction. That was the whole point of me doing these videos and doing my blog.
hellocupcakeitsme Wow well, I have had a lawyer for nearly 2 years now and I'm nervous about the hearing. Due to a serious brain injury, I cannot remember most of my work history or date, what can I do to find out my exact work history before my courtdate? Can you do a video on what all you were asked at your hearing? I'm happy to hear that everything worked out for you. I'm female by the way, many people think I'm male because of my screenname which stands for Clash of Clans Leader. Anyway, please write back when you get the chance.
COC Leader Well I would ask Social Security to produce a copy of your work history as every place you've worked has to have records of you. So every quarter that information is updated, using it you may be able to get an idea of work dates. Another way to do it is if you had direct deposit for your checks or your deposited your work check, then you could look back at your statements to find when you deposited your checks. Social Security Work History and Earnings History Reports Detailed Earnings Information: Provides periods of employment or self-employment and the names and addresses of employers. (www.ssa.gov/online/ssa-7050.pdf) that should help you. As for the questions the judge asked me from what I am able to remember myself was:
1.) Please describe your work history
2.) Why is it you feel you can no longer preform those duties
3.) What would a secondary vocation be
things of that nature. Here is another site that may help you www.disabilitysecrets.com/page6-15.html the thing is dont be embarassed about what you say. Be honest and straight. Dont go off topic and always answer the questions. There is NO ONE in that room with you that will 'judge' you. Typically the only people in the room with you is your lawyer, your witness, the judge, the stenographer, a bailiff, and maybe a small group of witnesses.
hellocupcakeitsme Thank you so much for all the help and advice. Can I contact you again if I have other questions?
Wynetta Bell Where?
please help me find a place to live
Move here to Texas, said should be more.
So you did not have many work credits?
I’m on SSDisability and have worked since age 14. My payment monthly is $1,500
I worked but didn't do 10 or 16 quarters
We need a system where the disabled are just given what they need for decent housing, food and enough to purchase other needs so we don't have to deal with that crap that you have to go through in order to get a little something that's if qualify.
This kind of thinking makes me sick. Where in the hell is the money for your little utopia suppose to come from. You want a system where it is give me give me I want more set you up with a house a car food health care utilities clothing entertainment extra money and you think you deserve it all free while people like me and every other hard working family struggle and do without , we are getting up at 5 am to go to work in the winter and hot summer while people like you sleep as long as you want and do as you want. Listen to this piece of work he is going on vacation when he gets his car because he needs to get away , bullshit he needs to find a job and earn some self respect , I am 60 years old and have worked 44 years as a machinist people like this guy needs his ass kicked
Tool Maker, thats what the people in power want you to do. We already tried that concept and it sucks. There is no way that anyone will be able to afford that kind of thinking that were so accustom to. We have to change or we will die out with it. It cant last forever. Were not going to do that work with unequal work pay and laws as well stil intacted but if you want to continue to be apart of that world then the choice is yours. Sooner or later, Were going to force that government system to give back to the people what they need to survive off.
Hello Michael...Congrats on you SSDI!!! I got my SSI in 2012 & I was happy but out here in Denver, Co. it is so bloody expensive to rent here, so I ended up losing housing and have been homeless ever since..Thank God I got in with a 'Ugh super annoying older man, thats a total grouch' , but I avoid him as much as possible.. You know those kind of people that drain you just from being around em' for 5 mins or .. Out of all I have experienced with housing hun?I know these senior living + Disabled people allowed..Its so hard since & before the president came about..Dont turn down any Housing because later on down the road, you may be stuck in the streets..I too am Diabetic, Renal kidney failure and lousy doctors, & other things.. lol I'm listening to you right now talking how you are going to go on vacation etc.. buy necessities Comfy bed, furniture , a car.. vacation? eh? a little pushing it hun..I'm just looking out for you..Also there is nothing simple about being on Disability. Government wise..In the beginning I too was jacked around until they finally gave me the entire amount..I hired an Attorney that didn't do a bloody thing as far as proof and what not? I basically did it all so after they ripped me off for the retainer? I think its called..lol sorry I won back like $9000.. they got more? plus billed me for more!! of which I declined to pay, so they SSI took my last $2000 away from me.. and as soon I started this program SSI? Wouldn't you know it my kind of Luck..they stopped paying Clients monthly of the Pay Back, Oh Lord!! So it was every 3 mos!!?? Very Stressful Being on SSI & not getting enough to live alone..I need to be alone too, well with a dog or cat companion buddy..1. I'm agoraphobic 2. PTSD plus I just like being alone to a point that is of course..I'm an artist & writer..So I wish you the very Best!! You look & sound like a Very Nice Young Man..Don't allow them to jack you around..its hard for lol I cant stand talking to social security and all those kind of places..I stutter..then their rude..lol Oh well Keep your head up high and never give up..KK
GET QMV that will get the 100.00 dallers back and you wont have to pay for medical insurance with QMV you need to call SSI and ask For QMV or call medicaid medicare
I found this here in 2016....4 years later. Odd that they increased the base amount only ~$100. Now the base is $761/mo, but I'm curious: how did they justify giving you less than the base? (Maybe I missed it.)
idk i only get $753 though
oh i thought you said $500 something. either way its still not enough to live on. will you jo us on fb in the social security disability reform group?
*join
that is right because at the time i was only approved for $581 and that wasnt before they made me pay for my medical. I honestly dont know wtf is going on with my claim but now im making $753 of which I pay $650 in rent $80 in cable/net and the rest of the money i get goes to buying cat food/litter and sometimes to cover my prescriptions. if i was living in california with everything the same just changing addresses i would get between $1500-$1800 but i dont want to move back to california. Yeah i may join shoot me the URL
im getting 960$ starting 2018 on SSDI just got my Medical Review and was Awarded to be continued.. im guessing for another 3 years.. i've heard that the amount you make is based on the Amount of work credits you have.. i guess every year you work counts as a credit.. am i correct? is that how your ex is making w1500 month???? man with that much i'd be able to live by my self.. and not even have to worry about working.. ive worked beofre tho and perfer to work just saying
im signing a 30 day nitice to move out of my apartment and will be homeless with my kids. now if im disabled and have been for the last 14 years since i was 12. will section 8 give me a housing choice vaulcher that same day cause im disabled and gonna be homeless. i heard that people with disabilities can get it without wanting on list. do you know if this is correct?
I have not heard this. I know that there are special circumstances, but I fear that you may be temporarily without a home. I would call your social worker ASAP and go down to the HUD office and talk to someone there too. I would also speak to your doctors about it and make them aware of what is going to happen.
No, it's not true. Very sorry it's not.
I am not sure as I have never dealt with section 8 however there may be another program or something like that in your area that could work like that. The only time I have ever heard of a program doing that was through a program we have here called Community Action Plan. So you may want to check to see if your city has it. I would also go to the HUD office and see if there is something that they can do. But based on the reason that you are being evicted you may or may not get help. Also you do not have to sign anything that is your choice to do so, it will make things harder on you I believe because its showing noncompliance. I am sorry but I honestly have no idea. But if you have been on Section 8 for a few years, I do know that you can use your voucher to buy a house, and if they wont cover all of it, that you can apply for a USDA Home Loan which has a low Interest Rate. But you also have to have a credit score of 620 plus some other requirements. usdaloans.net/
I meant I eat that for Breakfast, the turkey bacon, check out Canada to get your meds mailed to you.
There's no way you are getting both SS and Supplemental....Supplemental alone is about $700 a month. So your work history must not be of anything..otherwise you would get way more than that. I worked 20 years and I know the last time I checked if I became disabled now I would bring in about $1500 a month and then $640 on Supplemental income.
well I do every month I get a check for ssi and ssd I really don't understand why people have a hard time with what I say and type I don't make things up. I know what I get what was established by the courts and was deposited into my bank account every month.
its just low is what I am saying and I think there were others saying the same thing. If you have at least 10 years of past work history you would get more. But then again it goes by how much you brought home when you did work
+Kim Cook well I also pay for my medical insurance out of that money and if I lived in California I'd make $1500-$1800 so idk how our what is going on but I get one check for $142 and another for $600 so????
As you can probably see Jen, I get a lot of hate mail from people who are angry and ignorant...."Well you look and sound fine" well thats great and all but depression is a silent killer, and since having been diagnosed with diabetes, and the other mental and health issues things are on a downward spiral
yo dawg lets be roommates n get high all day
Why can't you get Medicaid? And Medicare is based on your income.
i get both medicaid and medicare now. but when this video was made i didnt have anything established yet
Have you tried the GOOD RX, for cheap drugs?
No I have to go through pharmacies that accept state medical
Disabled senior homeless female victim of domestic violence please help
Well your very first line of action is to get to a safe place and reach out to the Department on Aging to let them know what is happening. If you are homeless due to your DV then call or go to 800.799.SAFE (7233) www.thehotline.org/
Your other option is to call social security and report your situation.
Hi I might go on ssd. Are you living in Florida. I really need to move. All the best Shaun
SHAUN CAMPBELL9 no I live in Washington. I wish you all the luck should you need to relocate
dss may pay your medicare part b monthly premium.
I live in Springfield Ma receipt according to social the cold meiene incapacity
You must have not worked very much. They go by your previous work record on how much Ssd you will get. I was on Ssd and i just turned 66 so now I'm on regular Ss. I also get a penison from my work. Good luck to you!
You seem to be plugged in pretty good and we are glad.
So crazy on how you have face discrimination base your disability. The government does not help well for people with disability needing a place to live, education and health care. The federal worker of SSD are so mean and they fail to schedule my appointment for annual income check-up.
it is really crappy how much they dont help. And then to have everyday people blast you and make fun of you because they think you are just trying to leech off the 'system' not fully understanding your needs or knowing fully what your disabilities or limitations are. You would be in tears for most of the crap that i delete because i dont want it on these videos. I make these videos for everyone and for a way to get things off my chest as a means of therapy. I have had so many people contact me and ask me questions or say that my videos have helped them. so i keep on doing them regardless of what people say, and how hurtful they are and what have you.
michael peterson I know what you are talking about exactly. I plan to make my own video eventually because I have something very important I need to tell people but it's very personal and people are so mean. So I plan to disable all comments. You are brave and strong to tolerate comments on your video.
kylemin3 everyone is entitled to their opinion and 9 times out of 10 they are just Trolls who are just trying to get a rise out of me and others. But I do hope you share your stories and make a video. If you ever need any help in doing so please feel free to contact me. I also have a blog which I started way before this channel. Maybe that is something you might think about doing too. But I find talking and putting a face to the words help viewers connect and make the person and their struggles real.
hellocupcakeitsme That's probably a good idea. I was just thinking about making a blog first, today actually, to make sure I had everything I needed to say down. But not sure anyone would read it. Still, it's a good way. I do sometimes take trolls too seriously maybe. Not knowing they are trolls..Thanks!
kylemin3 Well I blog for me regardless of readership. I promote my blog, have a facebook page for it and everything else, just iin case someone does read it or happens upon a post that i wrote and finds help/comfort/support/etc in it. YOU DO IT FOR YOU. And if you do a video channel dont worry about it being scripted. You say what comes to your mind. If you are rambling then ramble, get it off your chest. Look at the thousands of people here on youtube that dont do anything but make faces and say a bunch of wierd shit and they have hundreds if not thousands of followers/views. See making a video or a blog is like talking to yourself or writing in your diary. If your talking about a situation that makes you sad, cry that shit out on cam, it is about you, your experience, your release. Trolls are going to troll. If you get a negative comment read it and say to yourself "F**K YOU BUDDY" because who is ANY ONE in this world to make you feel like crap, to make you feel like you are less than. Who are they in your life to make you feel the way you do when they say the stuff they say? People are temporary in your life. Would you rather have a hundred pennys or just 4 quarters? You keep hold of those people who build you up and make you whole and add to your support and foundation. Not the insects that swarm around you and annoy you. You are a GOD among insects, swat them down and move on. I dont know you but I am sending you the strength, love, and support that you need. And if you need to talk to someone hit me up. I will always do my best to give you advice.

You really need to research this term.... nutriceutical or nutrimedical. Socrates is considered the father of western medicine said, "Let thy food be medicine and thy medicine be thy food." If your diabetes is truly incurable then I apologize to you. But I urge you to do some research.
