Don.... I've gone thru the SSDI experience not only once, but TWICE, having gone back to full time employment after being on SSDI for 3 or 4 years. I got a job 7 day-a-week-job averaging 14 or 15 hours a day job the online industry, working right outta my home. It was grueling and when, 2 years after I'd begun working, I parted company with my employer, Microsoft, I found that the good folks at Social Security had screwed up royally by noting in my file that I had been "CURED" of the Parkinson's I'd had for 22 years (have had PD for almost 25 years now). Thus I no longer had my "disabled" status and lost SSDI and Medicare benefits which had taken me three full years to get the first go 'round. It took me another two years to FINALLY reestablish my SSDI status and in both cases required the assistance of a SSDI attorney it cut thru the red tape. I STRONGLY urge you wife to start the ball rolling ASAP with regards to qualifying for SSDI and Medicare benefits, and to not let that entity get her down (and believe me, they are past master in the art of making the SSDI applicant go 'round the bend from sheer frustration! Good luck, and please keep us posted on how your wife's doing.
