I am a stay at home mom, I have been since my first was born in 2008. Before that I didn’t need to work so I stayed home as a homemaker. I have many health difficulties but never applied for disability because we didn’t “Need” the money at the time. I became visually impaired enough about 4 years ago that I can no longer drive plus my pain conditions have gotten worse so I’m not able to do any where near what I could before, so now we could use the extra money and the secondary insurance would be nice as well. When I went to check the website for disability it says I am not eligible because I have no work credits within 10 yrs... I know people who have never worked that are on disability.. has anyone else had to deal with this? I feel like they are punishing stay at home parents if this is the case. I have work history from before I was married so it’s not like I have no credits. Just looking for advice before I begin to tackle this. Thanks for any advice you can give!
