I am a retired nurse. I was a nurse for 33 years, but when my bipolar got worse, and I was on the wrong medication combination, I would lose my jobs resulting in financial instability where it finally came to a point where I had to file for Social Security disability. It was a long drawn out process, and my Church had to help me out during that period of time or I would’ve been homeless. It took about five years to get disability, but I’ve learned how to fill out the disability papers how to word them. I’ve learned what to look for in a disability attorney to help you file for Social Security disability.
