Re: $$ For Stage IV Sisters

I, too, am applying in the next few weeks. I was not aware until the last few days that i could work part time AND get disability. I thought you just got the disability amount, that was it. I couldn't have got by on what I will receive, due to the fact that for a lot of years I did not work full time. I am truly miserable at my job, and now that I know the full story about disability, I am going to quit! Im going to get something less physically demanding part time, and maybe take some college classes and have time to do the things I can't do now because I am working 11 hours a day, and exhausted the rest of the time.
