Re: Disability Benefits for IBS       10/03/05 08:34 AM Edit Reply Quote Lummi Beader Reged: 08/25/05 Posts: 102 Loc: Bellingham, WA Hello everyone, In response to Bob K. regarding disability for IBS, I wanted to let others know that you need to contact your local social security office. You work and pay out stuff like taxes and social security, so that if you become disabled or when you retire you will still have money coming in. All I did was go online and request information on the disability paperwork, the social security office then contacted me to help with the paperwork. Of course you can print out the application and fill it out and take it to the office, fax it, or even mail it. Then you just do what they tell you and fill out everything. So if you are in the USA and you can not work, or afford to not work, then apply for the disability and take control. I know that you will hear stories about those who did not get disability but each case is considered on a case by case basis. Hopefully, this will be helpful for all involved. Oh and by the way, Bob K. I used to live in Columbus Ohio and have been to your area. That lake effect snow is outrageous. Also, yes I am a military female veteran and the VA only gives you a 30% rating for IBS. But if you are not able to work, then you need to check out options like disability.
