Deb Lovecky and Jane Kogan at HDSA deserve many kudos for their persistence in encouraging SSA to move this forward and make it happen.

What AMAZING NEWS...I cried and shared with my family when I received the email. I cannot say how THANKFUL I am, for all who remain nameless, behind the scenes who have fought this fight.

I lose sleep over the disability issue, and when to apply and all that goes with it. I feel so blessed to be a part of this community- even in the midst of living with this disease.

Blessings!
Truly amazed right now! This is great news for my sister; and many many others I'm your cheerleaderI'm on cloud 9
This brought tears to my eyes when I found out from my Mom. THANK YOU to everybody who worked so hard for this.

Finally!

thumbs up smiley
YEAH!!!! The fighting we had to go through was so unfair. If I hadn't handled SS for him, my husband would have given up.
The hoops we had to go through, the documentation and letters made it a full time job for 6 months. This is such good news!

This is great news and a smart step to go for the social security portion of the parity act only. Congrats to HDSA
I could not find this info anywhere? But what I have found is department of children and family services through a federal fund is giving me $120 a month to help care for my husband and his needs.
