[blindlaw] SSI payments

[Mark BurningHawk]

Problems with this:  I was born blind, and thus was blind at the time  
of taking out the loans, going through college, etc.  I am, however,  
losing my hearing, and have incurred such hearing loss that my ability  
to work is severely impacted.  Upon obtaining the forms to cancel my  
loan, I discovered that I not only had to fill out this form, but in  
three years, I will be assessed again to see whether in fact I have  
made substantial monetary gain in that time.  Essentially, I have to  
stay out of work for three years, and I am hoping to find work  
*SOMEWHERE*.  Also, since I now no longer have health insurance, I  
can't afford the doctor visit to get the form signed that states that  
I have a disability that substantially impairs my ability to work...
