Re: SS and Disability

The back check from SSDI is nifty when it comes in, but be prepared for the stbx to get half of it because it is marital property.
A consult with a divorce lawyer could give you some idea of how much alimony you could get and for how long. I have heard that you would be a candidate for permanent support because you became disabled during the marriage. It could be problematic if you awarded alimony and he just refuses to pay it. You could also get stuck going without health insurance if you divorce before the SSDI comes through.
I hope that SSDI will come through for you soon. The process took about 3 years for me
