I have been declarred disabled. The main thing is to have a lawyer.
It took me a year of not working before I finally went to court and was approved. It was a long ordeal but once I got it; it was great. I did get retroactive money for the year I was out of work.

Hang in there

Try using this link for information, from HCV.org

Within that site, you can find support/advocates for your state, Grace.

I really can't help you, even though I'm in the US- I never applied for disability. It can be done, I know of others that are on SSI because of HCV- but it takes up to 2 years to get the benefits.

You might have to go to your local State Aid office and apply for emergency funds, including Medicaid.

Hi to all

I am looking for information.    I have applied for disability due to many issues, depression, mood disorders and hep c.  I applied in September 2008.  It was denied once  - then I got an attorney, who filed a "Dire Need" letter.

Can some of you write your experiences, if you've applied and have been successful or denied once, twice, whatever.

Thanks
Grace
