tough times get tougher
back in April (april 7th 2011 to be exct) my husband was dianosed with fybromaliaga (easiest way to explain it is that he is always in pain) so we knew it was just a matter of time before the Military will retire him.
That started to happen in July of 2011 he was no longer able to go play (he is a reservist that works civil service during the week) so we lost some money there. Well just after the holidays we got a letter from them telling him it was offical, they were retiring him finally. but the VA is retiring him medically & the air force is just retiring him (he has been in the military for 26yrs). with the Military retiring him, he knew it was just a matter of time before the civil service will let him go to, but we though we had a year, a couple weeks ago we got the news. Not a year but months before he loses everything. Most people would say look at it as a new beginning or a step forward, but when you have done something all your adult life (hes only 45 & started hiar s military life a year after high school) its hard to start over. yes he will still get some paid, some medical, but its not what we have grown accustom to. so we started thinning out the heard of cars & I have put college off to the side one more time to try to pick up some money to make sure the bills are paid & our daughter can keep her horse (luckly We dont have to pay for feed & board for him since he is down with family). We will be ok though, its just a matter of time, before we are back on our feet.

Would he be eligible for Social Security Disability also? If he worked Civil Service ... that is a state job right ...just a thought ...
That can be a long process to get... and there maybe some off set if he is on a state disability retirement. If one gets on SSD than after a waiting period you are also eligible for Medicare to help with medical costs. |

He was told that he can go for SSD but will be denied the first time around. but if he finds another job then he will lose that as well, We will be looking at everything we can do.

In NY civil service is a state job .... get the application ASAP ... it is very long ... and when you fill out ... the most important thing to emphasize on all your answers is what he can't do now ... and not what he can do ...
Its not impossible to get it the first time you apply ... |

is he in a union at his fed job?
many unions have info on disability benefits or know of disability lawyers that can help (the non-ambulance chasing kind). |

Hey KB,
I helped 3 of my friends fill out the SSDI forms .... and all 3 got approved 1st time in only 3-6months ... I worked many years for New York State as an RN with people who had disabilities. If I can be of assistance when you get there ... just let me know. |
