You start with the doctor and then social services. It's a sad situation when people really need it and the paper work takes forever so she should start the ball rolling now.

Unless it has changed from 3 years ago It was gonna take my mom 6 months to get it Her 1st check was supposed to come in February and she died on January 9Th so she never got it. Try your local Health Department to see if there's anything available for her. GOOD LUCK!

I'm a nurse. I'm sorry for your friend. She needs to apply at a social security office for this, they can help. I'm a Christian and I will be praying for you both. Give her this to watch for support. www.mayyoubeblessedmovie.com
