She does not get SSDI. Some people even claim SSDI and SSI together and get subsidized housing and food stamps and subsidized utilities. And they get free medical care (medicaid)---there are programs out there for voc-rehab, too. Who pays for those? You bore me with your incessant digging. No wonder you're in the mess you are in. Enjoy your wallow.
