How do you like the concept of going on long-term permanent disablity at age 36?

The woman who rents my condo is doing just that. Culprit: fibromyalgia. I didn't know that her rheumatologist had exhausted all their pharmacy options. She's cleaning out her office at work today, and it will take about 17 months for everything to fall into her place for her to go on to Social Security Disability. Apparently she can earn up to about $700 a month once all this goes into place without jeopardizing anything.

Massively sucks.

About how much she can earn

Tell her to be very very careful. I used to be a social security disability examiner and I have a blog about this at http://www.disabilityblogger.blogspot.com

Thank you! I'll point her to it, she's not a blogger but she'll probably read this.
