Quote From: stac_andy Dear Dr. Phil,
I was ust woundering about something. How is a homeless person to get help when no one wants to help them? I mean Does everyone think that everyone that lives on the street asks to be there? Does everyone think that ALL people that are homeless do drugs and drinks wine coolers, beer, and so on?
Ok cause here is the thing. my boyfriend and I have been homeless and living from one place to another and the thing that gets me is that everyone thinks it's easy and that a person can get a job with in a couple days. The other thing I can't get is that with the Social Scerity Disability thing is that people that lie and say they can't work are usually the ones that can but yet when there is someone that actually can't work in the work field they have one heack of a battle to try to get it. I know 2 people where I live who I know can actually work. I mean they have no phyical or mental disabilities and they can keep reciving their checks each month and here is my boyfriend who can't work at all fighting for his life to get it and they keep denying him like crazy. I just don't get why the people who are honest about stuff just don't get any where in life and no one won't help them, but yet all the people that lies all the time always get what they want.
Dr. Phil I just don't understand all of this. Please Help. The good honest Christian get's nothing when they need help but a sinner who lies to get stuff always get what they ask from who ever they ask. When will the merical of my boyfriend and I get the help that we need? The only ones I see getting any help are the people that either has kids or already have money and have no values in their life. Any info. out there on all or any of this I would like to know and be able to understand all of this. Any info I can get would be nice. PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Thanks Dr. Phil
There are a great deal of jobs openings out there! It depends upon what one may be willing to do. to earn an honest dollar. Most fast food locations, Mini-marts/Gas-Stations and Department stores in our area. are hiring. There seems to be a "NOW HIRING" sign on every corner and in most store windows.. You do not need a college diploma to qualify for this type of job.
Your friend could apply for SSI while waiting for Disability. That is if he qualifies. for SSI..
If your Friend is truly disabled and qualifies for Social Security Disability or SSI. Some State will help you with education assistance..Some states pay for College class credits (as long as you pass the class) The state covers the cost of your books, child care and tutoring if needed..Some states pay more some sates pay less.
I am totally disabled and am on Social Security Disability I know for certain that Social Security Disability allow disabled person's to "earn" $800 per month above their disability check. I have MS & several other medical problems. I get into my motorized wheelchair , ride the ramp into my my handicapped equipped van and ride off to earn a little extra money.
My husband was injured in an accident while doing volunteer work at our Church. He fell and broke his rotor cuff, broke ribs, hit his head as well as other less severe injuries.
The Rotator Cuff injury required two surgeries and he now has less than only 70% use of his arm. The Carpenter's Union disabled him and advised that he apply for Social Security Disability. He was given Social Security Disability about six months after he applied.
I think that their is more to your story than meets the eye. Tell your man to Quit feeling sorry for himself! ! If he qualifies for Social Security, he may have to apply twice, but "IF HE IS TOTALLY DISABLED, "HE" WILL RECEIVE HIS BENEFITS!"
Also,,Don't' judge people who do not look disabled unless you have walked in their shoes. Social Security keeps good Tabs on those who receive funds. .
It certainly sounds like someone is jealous of disabled persons or anyone who has a penny more than they may!.. I tell you, I would much rather my husband worked 6 more years and not lost six years of person, retirement, annuity and income! Furthermore, I could have earned a great deal more working the last 15 years than being sick and in pain!. I suggest you open your Bible and read about the root of bitterness and jealousy! Thank God the two of you have what you have. You both have been Blessed with what you have. Believe me,things can, could and may get worse! Maybe God to trying to teach you and your friend humility or patience, what do you think?
