Re: How monthly payments work for blind people in your countries?
I forgot to mention, when you are awarded SSDI (Social Security Disability Income) benefits, you automatically qualify for medicare which provides health care, hospitalization, and prescription insurance.
It's hard to get SSDI, they look for any excuse to deny you, most people are denied benefits the first time they apply and have to go through a years long appeal process.
SSDI apparently has a higher cap than SSI, I get about $1,000 from them each month.
The downside is, when you reach retirement age, 65 years old, all your disability income benefits stop, that also includes any long term disability benefits you might be getting. At this point you are completely on your own and have to use the same Social Security Income resources all other retirees use as well as your retirement account if you are lucky enough to have one.
