How is someone supposed to get by waiting on a disability claim? - Les R - 01-25-2013 07:50 AM
I retired 4 years ago but I'm still only 60. I never felt I would have to work again until some very corrupt CEO's and banking system caused this crash in the stock market. Now, however, I am unable to work due to several physical problems and I'm trying to plod through this mess we call Social Security Disability. Since I can't file for unemployment and I can't work, what am I supposed to do for the 1 to 2 years it takes to get approved, assuming I do get approved?

Google "waiting for a settlement?", and see what pops up for you. There are many attorney's offices and companies that will give you an "Advance" against your claim. Don't know how it works for social security, but one of these places might be able to point you in the right direction for no cost. Good Luck!
