Join Alison for a conversation about Social Security Disability! She went through the experience of (successfully) applying herself in 2004, and has explored the system since. She knows how the process feels and has dived into understanding how and why it feels so hard, both to decide to apply, and to actually fill out the paperwork. She’ll walk you through how it works (helping you separate the facts from the rumors), when you should apply, and steps you can take to protect your mental health while you do so!
