[QUOTE="Worp, post: 3938681, member: 51063"] I've been on it for 2 years. I'm 63 now. Was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2018. Lost half of my right lung surgically. Have had more lung and airway tumors that were killed with radiation. Have had 3 brain tumors. one removed surgically that caused a seizure where I couldn't drive for 7 months. and two small ones killed with radiation. Have COPD also. By the grace of God I've been clear for a year and I'm pretty active. I decided after 60 years of oilfield and 4 years of septic service to sell my business and get on disability and retire. I had all these procedures done at Oklahoma Heart Hospital and Mercy North. Thank God Mercy had a department with a person who helps people that qualify get on disability. She took care of it all. Didn't have to hire a lawyer. So if you've had any procedures done at a hospital they might possibly be able to help. I have a few friends though that fought with Social Security and had to get a lawyer to get anything done. They said to never do it yourself. If you have any renal failure (and there's one other condition I can't remember) you'll be able to get on Medicare when you start receiving disability even if you're not 65. If you don't have one of those 2 conditions you have to be receiving disability for 2 years before you can get on Medicare. Good luck with it all. It sucks that most people that really need it have so much trouble getting it when it's your money to begin with!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
