A New Plan B

 One nice thing about being on medication is it helps me to NOT panic and to NOT worry overly much.  They denied my application for disability; we "appealed" by asking for Reconsideration of Denial; that got shot down too.

This was not unexpected; I have done this before.

My Disability Rep called me this afternoon; they are in it "for the long haul".  The next step is to request a hearing.  My Rep was surprised at my attitude, after she told me that it could be 10 months to a year before we get the hearing.  I had heard that waits for hearings were up to 2 or even 3 years; she was surprised that I wasn’t upset (people usually are to find that so much time will go by before they get an "Approved" or a Denial).

So, that’s the new Plan B, a back-burner, maybe it’ll happen maybe it won’t exercise.

Plan A becomes working with the job developers to find a way to make some money.  That’s more likely to happen, and sooner, than waiting for Disability, whose aim is to make you give up, or die waiting.

Onwards.
