UNEMPLOYED, UNINSURED? NEED A DOCTOR IN LIMESTONE COUNTY?

As a disability advocate, I often see individuals who are disabled, uninsured and unemployed.  They can't afford to see a doctor.  

Here is a possible source of medical care that you may not have considered if you live in Limestone County:
 Limestone County Health Department
20371 Clyde Mabry Drive
Athens AL 35611
256-232-3200
Website

This health department offers primary care, women's services, social services and more.  They accept patients from all income levels and charge a sliding scale fee based on your income and ability to pay.

If you live in another county, check with the health department in your county.

Here is also a state wide list of medical clinics in Alabama that offer reduced cost medical care.  The clinics are pretty much listed in alphabetical order, so check the entire list to find one close to where you live.

YOUR DISABIILTY CLAIM WAS DENIED. IT WAS PROBABLY A MISTAKE.

IS YOUR DISABILITY DENIAL CORRECT? You applied for Social Security disability.  They sent you to a doctor for an examination, then denied your benefits.  Should you assume that Social Security made the correct decision?  No.  You should assume they made a bad decision because they probably did.

Claimants lose millions of dollars every year by failure to appeal denied claims.  Don't make this mistake. What are the risks if I appeal and lose?  There is no risk.   In an appeal, you have every

What Veterans Need to Know About SSDI Benefits

If you are a recently disabled veteran and have been recently discharged from active service, or if you are about to be discharged, here are things you must know about Social Security: 1)  You are covered by both VA disability and Social Security (SSDI) disability. 2)  You may be entitled to receive SSDI benefits for the period of disability, even before you separation (discharge) date.  They go by the date you became unable to perform your military duty, not the date of separation. 3)  Social Security disability is a totally separate process from VA disability.  One does not depend on the other.  Different applications, different rules, different process, etc. 4) If you meet the requirements, you can get full VA benefits and full SSDI benefits.  One benefit will not offset or eliminate the other one. 5)  Social Security has special, faster processing rules for veterans with a 100 percent permanent VA rating, who were disabled while on active duty.  Note:  You do not have to
