Apply!

Laurel.

I would suggest that you apply for both you and hubby. You didn’t ask for your disability and if your quality of life is affected then you owe it to yourself to apply. All they can say is No. Don’t give up if they so no the first time! I suggest you check out this info and then chat with your doctor,the paperwork is not hard at all.

Check out this site and send me a private message if I can help.
