I have been waiting for mine to be approved since july of 2010. WE have lost just about everything we own. Had to move in with my mother in law as well. My husband can't work due to having COPD & back problems. and I can't work due to mental, back, asthma, and problems from scare tissue from cancer. We have been to court for this back in Jan of 2012. still waiting for the judge to sign off on it so I can find out the ruleing on my case. How long does it take to sign a piece of paper though? Is it that hard? I can't afford to pay for doctors right now cause of no money. and am suppose to be seeing 2 specialist on top of everything else.
