Guest guest Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 , It made me sick to find that out this weekend. I too thought they took all my work history not just past 5 yrs. But I quite literally blew a gasget when my daughter said that during her interview they told her that she would be getting the same as my husband that has worked 20yrs straight without a break while my daughter has had one decent job in her life. Again, happy for her but my gosh! So basically because I had a hard time believing I was " disabled " at a young age and thought " this too will pass " and it did not, I get the same as someone that has barely worked if at all! If someone else can learn by my mistake....then all is not lost. > > Wow, that is totally deplorable.
