Bri - Don't take this wrong, but you really need to stop making excuses for your mother. She needs to apply for assistance and see a doctor. I never heard of a FREE doctor, and if she is out of diabetes meds, what's she going to do??? - end up in the local emergency room (if she's lucky and makes it that far)??? And as far as disability goes - well you really don't have that correct. Yes there are forms to fill out, and if she truly is disabled and unable to work and a doctor deems it so, it doesn't mean that she will automatically be denied once, or that it takes a year or more. I've been on disability since I was 61. I was told by Social Security that after my forms were filled out and received and reviewed, that it would probably be 3 months before I heard anything one way or the other. In a matter of 3 weeks I had my approval - and I was never initially denied. Whoever is telling you differently, is giving you a worst case scenario, and your mother will never know anything if she doesn't take action - see a doctor - and get the ball rolling. She has to go to them - they are not going to come to her.
And another thing I don't understand - how are the 2 of you living on only $200 each month. I don't see how that is in any way possible.
