hi search the forums for disability from social security, taking money from life insurance policies.

If you live in the US your are automatically eligible for social security disability. you can apply on line it is based on your work history dollar amount, and then you get your money and the kids get half of your amount divided between them. Eligible for medical care 24 months after filing.

I also was able to take 75% of my term life insurance policy, cash out, non taxed and it left the 25% to cover anything, they take the premium out of the 25%.
This is not a loan (There are places who try to loan you the money). Called an Accelerated death Benefit.

Good luck to you prayers and hope
