Disability Insurance, keeping current Dr

Hey guys, I am just starting out in my career and am not confident that I can get health insurance to cover my current med team. My rheum said there is a way to get disability insurance to preserve access to my current team. I am located in the US and was wondering if anyone else has gone through this. I can work, it's just difficult to get an entry level job right now. I want to work but need to have secure health insurance to do that. Any advice helps, thank you.

  1. Hi . I'm so glad you've reached out here. Hopefully some of our community members with experience applying for disability can share their experiences with you. In the meantime, I wanted to share a couple of articles with you. This one has information about disability benefits, https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/resources-disability. And this one is about applying for those benefits, https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/resources-ssdi. It can be a process, but, as many community members here can tell you, don't give up! And, some people find having an advocate who specializes in SSDI helpful in navigating the process. I hope that helps! -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
