We also face a decrease in our social security disability payments as Congress's new committee attempts to figure out a way to reduce some 1.7 trillion from the federal budget. Our system is quite different then yours. We get a fixed amount regardless of our expenses depending on the number of years one worked and how much one paid into the system prior to becoming disabled. The amount one received here under our program is quite low in my opinion but better then nothing and one does get medical coverage minus a 20% copay. It can get rather upsetting when governments target the most vulnerable. Keeping you all in my prayers that your voices are heard.deb aka murphthesurfhttp://abcsofra.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769437744086749047.post-2385216226586254562011-09-04T19:10:39.722+01:002011-09-04T19:10:39.722+01:00This is so well written Penny you have explained t...This is so well written Penny you have explained the situation very clearly, it is such a problem and a worry,I will definitely shout every opportunity I get, I do so hope many people read your blog and feel strong enough to shout and spread the word.<br />Just feel so sad those that need DLA have to fight for it. <br />EveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769437744086749047.post-23559868510632354922011-09-04T12:35:07.753+01:002011-09-04T12:35:07.753+01:00This is such an important subject and those of us ...This is such an important subject and those of us who receive it live in fear of what will happen to us at the changeover, those who have no contact with it and therefore feel it is of no interest to them, all I can say is that you never know what is round the corner for you or your loved ones as you get older - so please think about it nowfeline9https://www.blogger.com/profile/13312897216463064900noreply@blogger.com
