The Oatmeal Butterscotch paired with a Snickerdoodle
turned my cynical penis into a happy vagina
Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.

You can listen to the advise of financially mediocre morons who will never have to make the decision or you can just be completely honest and let the system regulate itself. Lying and deception are immoral. Accepting a helping hand is not...
The problem is, i dont know when i'll be better. If i had a bum leg that would get better with physio, i would feel ok about temporarily accepting help. But this crap is degenerative and it's only gotten worse as i've got older. Im medicated to the gills and i still hear voices, struggle with apathy and self-care etc. Im scared that if i went on disability, i might never get off it, and to me that is just unacceptable.
So follow your gut, and only go on disability if you come to a point where you have to, because you can't afford a medication or a treatment or something else. Otherwise you might be looking at yet another thing that you feel bad or guilty about that nags you in the back of your mind because you're obviously not comfortable with it in the first place.

when she is to the point she can't afford medication THEN she's supposed to apply?
Sith wasn't joking about it taking 2 years, your first go around you get denied, it's almost a damn rubber stamp. Disability is not one of those things like welfare that you go down and apply, and come home with an EBT card.
Even my nephew, who went from being a smart guy to the mentality of an 8 year old was denied the first time around, he had to wait over a year for the approval to go through the second time. My sister had to argue with them for him, because he would have just accepted whatever he was told.

I think im going to wait until im properly eligable (ie when we wont just have to pay it back because of the status of my green card), then i'll see where i am. Yeah, i could start the process now, but my luck says it would all go through smoothly and then i'd get in trouble for applying too early or whatever. The more i think about it, the more i can remember during my visa process that they kept stressing to Wolfz that he was financially responsible for me, that i couldnt become a ward of the state etc.

That's entirely a valid point, I'm also on the side of the people who say "take it because you're not abusing the system if you are allowed to have these benefits." Someone mentioned there is a waiting period, but there's also an idea of applying for the benefits ASAP, and put everything into a completely separate dedicated account that you would use only for treatment or whatnot of your disability. If I did that, I'd personally have a clear conscience, and it's not like you're abusing anything in the first place...

Well then if you want to work and can't because of it, I would say go for it and at least start the process. As others have said, it can take moons and moons before you even get through step one of the application process.

Ok and here is another scenario. Suppose Wolfz is impaired somehow due to an accident or illness that makes him no long able to be in the service. Yes he will likely get some sort of disability pay but depending on on severity it might just be simple enough to make him unable to serve in the military but able to work civilian. There goes your health bennies and the like other than for his injury. It would be best to have something to help buffer things until you can find a treatment that actually consistently works for you.
