Today I am very frustrated.
I have been trying to get Social Security Disability (SSDI) for a couple of years now. This was my second application and now I am headed for a second appeal. It is not easy to do. The process is very invasive personally and mentally taxing. When you can't work full-time because of medical restrictions it shouldn't be so hard to get assistance. It seems to me that if there are documented issues one shouldn't have to jump through hoops to prove how "disabled" they are.
The sad part, this is not abnormal, unfortunately it is terribly common. How is it that those who need assistance struggle through years of the application and appeals process? Many of them never get the help they lack and instead become disconsolate and give up. To me, that is just stupid and crazy.
Now we begin the appeal process again. Maybe someday I'll get the help I need and many others will too.
