i am a student and i have found that school is a big enough challenge besides working a full or part-time job. it is time to get real about what i can and can't do right now. plus i want my new school to know my condition so i can take advantage of any accomadations they could offer me. i heard that you need a lawyer. that scares me. i am so poor right now i am being helped out by me folks for rent and i clean houses once in awhile to pay the bills and have pocket money. it worries me that after cleaning only one house i am sore and sick for three days aftewards. not a good way to support myself. i live in o klahoma but i plan on moving to Fayetteville, Arkansas at the end of December. i know it can vary from state to state. i was living in s.f. where i would have gotton the best care for diabilty but i had no way to survive until it came through considering my rent was so high. my poarents have been helping me, but that can't last forever. and i recently found oout that my fiance may not be returning to share our apartment in nov. i need help fast. but it seems like the state won't help you unless you have kids(which i don't) and i have heard it is poplicy to turn down everyone for diabilty the firsttime. i am nervous, but i don't have a choice anymore. i am alone in this now, and i need serious help since i was counting on people who probably won't come through for me.help!!!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Good Luck

If you are speaking of Social security Disability It does not vary state to state.It is a federal program.. amounts dont change and the rules are the same no matter where you live.
YOu will need to have worked and paid into social security for a certain amount of quarters depending on your age.. I checked your profile for your age, and it looks like you will need to have worked for about 4 ( full time) years out of the past 8 ,But my feeling is that they will say if you are able to attend school, then you are not disabled and are not qualified to collect.
Raven is correct in that if you feel you are qualified you should apply immedietely because you do lose work credits as time passes and you are NOT working.
Hope this helps
