Disability Lawyer?
Hey! Long time lurker, never post. To be blunt, I have no clue where to ask this or where to even start on this.
TL;DR Got a good direction for a disability lawyer? No Healthcare doctor? Is that even where to start?
Facts of the matter:
- researching for the husband, 38.
- he's a US veteran, hasn't been to VA in years
- VA is incredibly difficult to navigate
- currently 40% mil. disability from VA
- Back surgery 5 years ago
- he can't work due to extreme pain
- currently no health insurance
Story:
My husband, 38, has extreme back/sciatica pain that prevents him from working and living a normal life.
He was in the military from 2007-2013. Receives 40% disability from the VA, but hasn't been back in numerous years.
Back pain off and on for decades. Kicked up around 2018? Had back surgery in 2020 for a herniated disc. They warned, at the time, it would probably come back in 5-10 years.
He's in extreme pain. Can barely function.
No health insurance.
So…not only do I need to help him get pain relief (possibly another surgery?), but I need to help him see if he qualifies for disability. At this point, he can barely walk, so working is next to impossible.
I appreciate you reading this. I have no clue where to start. I'm sure this sub isn't the right one, but it's a starting point.
How can I help him get medical help and financial help? Thank you in advance!
