Has anyone tried for medicaid as well,even if likly the case you are turned down for FULL social security,you can recieve partial,and what that entitles you to is certain benifits,and one of those benifits is,NO GAP,what this means is the limit on the med coverage goes out the window,good bye gone.
All you tell them is you have the extra help,and they shut right up.Again you will likly be turne down for the medicaid and given a SPENDDOWN which is impossable to meet,but you will most likly get some benifits,one being the premium on the meds on ur monthly medicare check,covered,second,the limit on the drug coverage,covered,you just obviously wont have the normal medicaid proviliages but hey the premium covered is great dont you think.
I advise people to contact there social worker imediatly and speak to them on this.
