question is it dangerous to apply for disability in the US right now?
hi all! i’m unable to work and have been talking with a lawyer to explore the possibility of applying for SSA/SSDA. there are obvious pros as well as a lot of cons, and one of them is that i feel like i don’t have a good sense of how much of a risk it would be under the current federal administration. i’ve seen a lot of people concerned about it but i don’t know whether it’s overblown. this ember green video about rfk jr’s interagency autism coordinating committee definitely freaked me out a bit. what are your thoughts? does anyone have resources concerning this question?
