Choose Dignity .... not Drama

~ Your future is watching ~

"If someone at work challenges something you are doing, and tells you how incompetent you are, what’s your reaction? You would probably say it depends on who the person is.  That’s the whole point.  Your reaction is based on how much power you give that person in your reality. The same is true for illness.  If you make it dramatic in your mind, than that's your reality."  -- excerpt from the upcoming book "Choices-Intend to Choose"

WARNING: This website suggests links to various other websites.  Some are .gov or .org sites and some are websites of disability law firms or disability advocate firms.  The links are sites that provided answers to questions I had when first doing my research.  I have not investigated or "vetted" these sites and I am not endorsing them, but I do believe their sites provide a wealth of information and clarity.

Although my site has links to many varied websites, the links below are direct to the official SSA website.  This is only a partial list for your reference.  Please be again advised my site doesn't offer any legal counsel and I am not attorney.  Always consult with an attorney regarding any legal issues.
