Still fighting/ waiting for SSDI decision
Hello Dr Ed, it’s Thomas again. My disability claim is now over 7 months and going on. My UB have now ceased and it’s getting mission critical to stay a float. My question is- is there anything else involving Medicare/ Medicare that I can look into or pursue that I might have overlooked to help me with this financial situation? I could really use some good advice cause I’m mentally exhausted….. thank you

I have applied for Medicaid in March, April, May, June and again August. I was denied the last 4,times but haven’t received a response from most recent one August 3 2026. I’m completely exhausted of being denied because each time takes more and more out of you mentally
Husband Passed Away on Thursday
My husband, who had been sick for years and recently went into hospice care, passed away Thursday morning.💔😢 He was 65 when he passed, but had to retire early from his Federal Government job in 2020 due to his health, and was receiving SSDI. I myself will turn 65 in November. 1) I will receive SSDI survivor benefits, correct? 2) If I delay receiving those SSDI survivor benefits until I turn 65 in November, I will receive a higher percentage of my husband's monthly SSDI -- Is my understanding correct? P.S. Please forgive me for posting in two places (I'm never entirely sure how to raise my hand for help)

Disability dragging on and on…
Hi Dr Ed - as you know I have a long ongoing disability claim that’s now almost 7 months in. I have been surviving on unemployment benefits the last six months.Now those benefits are coming to an end very soon (September 4 2026). I have filed for snap, medicade in March, April, May and most recently on August 3. I keep getting denied because of UB. I’m being represented by Tarajee- is there anything we can do to push this maybe for once in my favor? I’m in Texas so that speaks for itself unfortunately…
Told you all about Senator Whitehouse!!!
Thank you ☺️ Dr Ed for showing how much he cares!!! Please get him on your show- he can and will help us alll!!!

@Natalie Salveson Same for me - I have developed a disability that forced me to quit working in late January 2026. Filed for Disability on February 3 2026 and have battling ever since. It’s been tough on me both mentally and physically with little to no money coming in.
