By skyforbes I am single, no kids, disabled and was denied SSDI about 10 years ago. There was no “expanded Medicaid” then. I was living at home with my elderly Mom for the last 7 years. Her health declined and she had to go live elsewhere. Out of self-preservation, I secured an apartment with funds from my credit card. I applied for Disability Medicaid in Utah. They are now questioning me about who is paying my rent and utilities. Answer? My credit card. Is this allowed? I had no other options. Still don’t, at this time. I’ve made myself literally ill dealing with Medicaid since April. They always want more and more info, evaluations, etc. Five months of this. I’m stressed beyond belief. All my doctors and evaluators say I am physically and psychologically disabled. SSDI said no after 6 years. Medicaid wants to keep me in perpetual limbo. Not sure how much more I can handle this. Plus, I just got engaged. He is not my financial savior, unfortunately, having only a small savings that would put me over asset limits if $2k. So I can’t even get married. Any help or advice greatly appreciated! P. S. I worked in Times Square and was a witness to the 9/11 attacks. Diagnosed with PTSD, panic disorder, treatment resistant depression, chronic pain, etc., etc.
