Answer 1

OK, What type of disability are you receiving, state disability?  Their guidelines are VERY lenient.

Has a doctor told you that you're totally disabled?  It's very hard to get SSDI.  You have to be totally disabled, and there is a five month waiting period, after a doctor has told you that you're totally disabled.  Having Aids doesn't mean your disabled  . . .yet.  If you can flip burgers, if you can sit and count change, you're not disabled enough for SSDI.

Nothing else you can do, no one is going to give you a private policy now, that's for sure!!
