Darb1964 1,014 #29 Posted August 6, 2019 I am on disability retirement have been for two years. I worked as long as I possibly could. I have M.S. So maybe that helped but I felt I should post this. My experience with ss was very good,I talked to the same person every time,she gave me her direct number if she didn't answer she called me back the same day. I did not need a lawyer the ss part was the easy part,getting my doctor's to get the paper work complete was hard part. They are just so overwhelmed with all the paper work for insurance companies. Healthcare was my biggest concern my company did not offer it when you leave. I get it from the state of MA.and it's the best insurance I have ever had.low premium and copays. Not rich but getting by. Planned on working to 65, loved to work,worked two or three jobs my whole life. Never thought I would be this disabled at 55 humbled the hell out of me. You never know what tomorrow brings,live for today. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
