The first payment will not arrive until 6 months after approval. The 2 years was my waiting time for Medicare. Akua SSDI; I hear that it takes 24 months to get on SSDI. I am 63 this past April; in 24 months I will be 65, and in another 8 months will be at full retirement age of 66. I certainly am now really disabled, thanks to these frequent and randomly occurring attacks that leave me helpless. Will SSDI give me benefits I have not counted? If you know something that would help me, I would be happy to hear of it, because it is now clear that I am totally disabled as far as being a working stiff is concerned.

It is extensiveŠ.and they have copies to take home in the pharmacy at each Walmart. I take this list to the doctor when we go so that the doctor can possibly prescribe one of the medications on the list and we can save some money. We have a prescription plan but it has a $3500 per year limit and my husband has reached that so we are paying for drugs out of pocket now. Also, if you have paid into social security you may be able to get social security disabilityŠ..you might want to look into that as well. Welcome home to the USAŠ.how are you doing since you have gotten here? Emily --
