Getting A Parent on Disability?!


Question:

Getting A Parent on Disability?

My father has diabetes and has recently been hospitalized.....he had to have a partial amputation and will not be able to work after being released. I have no idea how to help him and need any suggestions or comments on how to handle disability or what to expect.


Answers:

go to your nearest social security office and apply for disability. people think you need a lawyer to get disability but that's not true. my husband has been through it as he has diabetes and copd. (unable to work) he was approved. is your father on medicaid? he needs to apply for that through family services in your county ( file for food stamps, financial aid and most importantly medicaid which will cover dr.'s visits, meds, major medical such as hospital stays.
