Mental Conditions

I applied about 4 years ago on my own for disability benefits based on my many issues. It became impossible for me to work at all about 8 years ago. My application was not approved. At this time I sought out a disability advocate to represent me. They filed the appeal which was denied. In truth I have been suffering from my conditions for over 30 years & have gone through a myriad of medications. My advocate listed my onset as 8 years ago when I could no longer work. The appeal filed through my advocate was denied.

i am 64, turning 66 in 08/2018: how much will my ssdi benefits be cut ? i currently get 1,726/mo, before medicare deduction; thanks; trying to wait until i'm 66 to move to regular social security; thanks

My husband has health care power of attorney for his mom and he has filled out all information for her for the last year. She has a rare form of dementia and hasn't been able to do anything on her own in years. He's been dealing with the social security office for a year and now they are at the end and telling him they will only deal with her and who is in her direct care (meaning nursing home). This makes NO sense to me.

Help me put my mind at ease, or atleast give me your thoughts.
So last Thursday I had my ALJ hearing. A little background on me:

I spent most of my childhood in and out of mental facilities. I've been diagnosed with Bi-Polar, Depression, Anxiety, and some other things. When I turned 18 the state wouldn't cover my doctor visits any more, and I couldn't afford to go on my own. I've tried so hard to live a normal life. But I bounce from job to job because I just can't handle them. I finally broke down and admitted I need help, so I applied for disability. I finally got a call back telling me I make too much money and they can't do anything to help me.

I'm currently waiting on an ALJ hearing, claiming severe anxiety and depression.
