You have to be severely disable to collect disability pension.

Disability Pension: you have to be really mentally or physically disabled to collect it.

My family put the screws on me to try to collect disability pension. I saw my doctor this afternoon.
I don't qualify. I knew it but bowed down to the family pressure of my older brother Don and my daughter Lisa. Now they will know. I fill better that I ruled that one out.

It is so discouraging trying to change one's career at the age of 57. What company wants to hire someone my age? I keep asking this question but have not gotten an answer. I have been basically a receptionist my entire career. They called it other things but basically that is what I have been for over 26 years now. Changing careers at the age of 57 is not easy. You have to know what you are applying for in the first place. What's out there for those of 50? Its not easy being me.

I just needed to vent and thanks for listening. I have been given much advice regarding this from a lot of people. Don't need any more advice on this subject. I just needed to let it out of my system.
