How to Get On

This site has so many helpful resources.

I will add from my own experience having been on it once before and as a therapist who has helped many apply—it’s important to know what you’re getting into. It is lifesaving to have a check come when you can’t work, but it also chains you to a broken system and that can feel frustrating, humiliating, and very stressful. That being said, if you decide it’s your only or best option, then apply more than once! Many people are rejected the first time and it’s not your fault if you are, You just need good medical evidence from a doctor who clearly explains not just what your disability is, but why you can no longer work. Best of luck!!
