That's all good but why does it sound like you're punishing yourself by taking a pay cut and working 16 hour days? Can't you get on disability? You can for example be 20% disabled or 40%. This will allow you to work normal hours, have a normal income and extra rights and benefits. You might want to call your municipality and ask what's possible and get informed.
Have applied via the state and via the federal gov. Nobody I've worked with has talked about a % based system, and when I search for it I only see things related to Veterans.
Is that a thing for SSI? Do you know if it only applies to veterans?
I am speaking from a German perspective, I'm not informed on how it works within your context.
But I imagine you must have something along those lines too. Obviously there are disabled people, and if those receive benefits, then what is halfway between that and not being disabled? Or is it black and white?
And it isn't just about finances. It is also about housing and work. For example there is special housing built for people who need to live in an accessible place, say on the ground floor in the city. And larger companies are motivated to hire disabled people. I'm not sure how, perhaps through tax breaks or perhaps they are even legally obligated to have n posts for disabled people.
If your system does not provide for your needs, you might consider moving. Didn't you say you are a coder or something? That's an easy green card.
Gotcha. I don't think we can get partial assistance.
It's pretty much all or nothing and even the "all" is virtually nothing.
God I would love to get partial disability and work as many hours as I could manage.
I saw Germany added a newer entry program last month, it's just a matter of having 24k for my wife and I to qualify to move and find work.
That or I need to find a German job :')
