Need help, Disability cut me off

Donation protected
So long story short, my disability was up for review and due to the Post Office not delivering my paperwork, I lost my disability. I've filed for a reclaim, but I have no fucking idea if they're going to give it back to me. I had to file 4 different forms and mail them in.

My case worker lost it last week, so I had to fax it in this time. This situation took 3 months to even get this far, because every time I called Social Security, they kept jerking me around, giving me wrong advice, and/or didn't know what to do properly to help me. My disability officially ended in December. (No one in my family got Christmas presents from me this year because of it, including my 15-year-old child.)

Because I "agreed" to "Yes, I want my benefits to continue for 3 months after my disability was canceled," I unwillingly (they didn't EXPLAIN this to me,) agreed that if they decide I'm not disabled anymore, I have to pay those three months back. I earned 560 dollars a month.

And before you ask; just know that my health is very poor, I'm wheelchair-bound due to chronic pain and my kneecaps dislocating. I have mental and physical impairments.

And then, there's my wife. She and I are not legally married for reasons that would hamper our disability payments, who just got a text from her lawyer that she's been expecting for 4 months now, saying she was COMPLETELY denied her disability (it took 4 months to reach her because they kept texting/calling the wrong number even though she told them the new one) and now she's either going to have to appeal or find a new lawyer.

FIRST MONTH TAKEN CARE OF! This month is taken care of, but I still need help for the following 3 months!

I deeply appreciate the people that have donated. You guys have been a Godsend for this month. But I'm not out of the woods yet!
