Question Re: psoriatic arthritis: Help!

Hi all. This is just a question about the finacial state of things when you have PA. Is it keeping(or kept) anyone from working? In USA,(or anywhere) does it qualify you for SSI or anything els known? I am just wondering about this and if you can answer let me know. Thank You. mcjonval

Re: Working and RA

I Have Had Ra For Many Years Now And I Applied For Disability But I Was Turned Down And Had To Hire A Lawyer. I Finally Was Approved For Ssi. That Was Because I Havent Worked In Several Years. Had I Been Working I Would Of Gotten More. I Do Recieve A Small Check But The Best Thing Is That All My Medical Bills And Medication Are Paid For.
If You Have Anymore Questions Feel Free To Ask. Good Luck !

Re: Working and RA

Hello. Thanks for writing back. It is good to hear that this is a possibility. The PA has caused alot of days when no work is even possible. My husband has worked most of his life so maybe at some point that might help. The best thing is ...that the medical insurance is a plus+. Thanks a lot! mcjonval

Re: Working and RA

Hi Pebbs,

I am interested in seeing about getting some kind of financial help for RA. Could you tell me how old you are and what state (USA?), and also how long where you out of work. I am 55 and have been out of work about 5 years, and that was temporary work - office type. Out of work for being a caregiver for my MIL and then my parents and FIL and now me! Still watch after my parents some too. I live in the Houston Texas area.

Also, was the lawyer a lot of money and did it take a long long time to get this done for you?????

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Wannabe
