Hi, my name is Cynthia and I am disabled. I live in Caroline County Virginia which is in between Spotsylvania County and Richmond Virginia. Does Medicaid help the disabled? I was in a car accident in June of 2016. I struggled with pain and trying to work while being treated at a pain clinic, then after several injections in my back, the injections stopped being effective. After an MRI I found out that I did not have a disc in my L3-L4 vertebrae.
The disability decision was made that I required surgery I had to quit my job as a nurse on May 19th had surgery on September 12th and felt good for about a week. Then other complications came about - more pain and severe cramping in my lower back. I finally was approved for Medicaid which starts in January but the problem is I’m not working and have no money. I’ve lowered my monthly expenses to approximately $800 a month. The person I’m living with is giving me until the end of February to move. I started my disability application. I desperately need help paying bills and I need a place to live. Any way possible I could receive short term financial assistance?
