We've heard the exact opposite. brush May 22 #39

Lol. 4k. haele May 22 #13

it works for me Tickle May 22 #34

an extra $4000 deduction would translate into a reduction of tax owed by $400 to $500 at most. Wiz Imp May 22 #36

That $400 will be the increase on food. Meadowoak May 22 #51

Yep. The whole thing is an attempt to fool the public into think they're getting a much better deal than they really are Wiz Imp May 23 #57

I applied in August of 2023 so it's 21 months and counting, I got denied JMCKUSICK May 23 #56

They nearly always deny on first application. I recommend asking a no-fee-unless-you-win disability lawyer to help. Doodley May 23 #58

I did hire an attorney from the beginning. JMCKUSICK May 23 #59

Good. 21 months is a long time. BTW, I'm probably going to lose my healthcare. At least I have no Doodley May 23 #60

I sure hope that's not the case Doodley. JMCKUSICK May 23 #61
