I have a 'mass' near my spine (T-11) that they want to biopsy...that will probably add to the list of ailments to qualify. I am early in the application process.

I am 53 and work full time. I’m trying my hardest to not go on disability. I have PBC with an overlap auto immune hepatitis. I also have osteopenia. I take about 27 pills every day. Ursodol no longer works but they still have me take it. I imagine you can with a doc diagnosis. My mother said they will deny you 3x because they think you won’t try again.

I'm 54 yrs old, so I have a few years before I can collect retirement. I'm exhausted & fatigued everyday while also being my husband's care giver. I don't think i could handle going back to work at this point.
