I checked out your website and would like to put a link to your blog on my resource page. Great site! I think readers can definitely benefit from it. I actually just got a letter today from social security, and my lump-sum payment is supposed to be coming on or around July 31st. I'm so grateful, because my husband and I are at the end of our rope financially...Yikes. Jen Thanks for the information, Tim.

SSDI makes you feel like you can work full-time and should be out there, yet you can't hold down a regular schedule. Then they allow you to work on top of your benefits, once you receive them.
