Hello. My name is Alex and I usually live on disability benefits. My disability is paranoid schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and depression. My benefits have been suspended because I started earning $50 to $150 in earned wages per month. This is not enough to cover just my rent for my apartment. I am fairly certain that I will be able to resolve this issue and have my benefits back by June 2017. My life expenses do not have the ability to also be suspended. If I do not get my benefits for May, then I lose my apartment of 8 years, and all my other life tools such as my car insurance, phone, internet, renter's insurance, and a lapse in credit card payments. Also I will basically be homeless and without any money for May, which would probably lead to a downward spiral of my health and hospitalization, if I don't come up with some money. I have never been homeless and I pray to god it stays this way. The condition I live with makes it difficult to think clearly and otherwise hold employment and even distinguish between hallucination and reality sometimes. I recieved notice of the benefit suspension today, April 27, 2017 and my next scheduled benefit payment would have been on May 3, 2017, only 3 business days of time to resolve the issue, (not enough time). My rent is always paid on the 4th. This is when I need the money. My benefit amount is $734.00, so the amount I'm requesting is just rounded to $750.00. This is all I need to simply get through May. Thank you for reading.
