" Disability Advocate " (You are a person who speaks or

writes in support of something.)

I was thinking along the same terms so it must be good

[Guest guest]

You're training to be a " Government Benefits Professional " and should

claim that as your title now. Or be specific and say you're an " SSDI/SSI

Benefits Professional. "

Like Cindi I thought Advocate (without seeing her post first either!)

In Glasgow there are some community groups who have similar in depth

training to provide independant advice on benefits, financial and

social for the disabled. They don't focus on CMT but on the whole

array of illnesses and this is a common title that people seem to

understand OK.

In the UK getting benefits can be equally difficult if not quite as

complicated (unless I'm being naive). Reading some of the problems

experienced by some of you guys and the costs - eek! The NHS may have

its problems but a lot us of here would be sitting on a few eggs less

if it didn't exist.

Hi .......maybe SSDI/SSI Liaison Officer???

Hi Gretchen,

I would put your " job title " as " Disability Advocate " rather than

anything else because then when you finally get your certification you can keep

that title as well as adding the word associate or partner to your business

card.
