   I just read the article that was published about you and your success. I was very happy to see on your site that you are also including the disabled. I have been to NTI before but I wasn’t aware of the other sites and I have been going through them like crazy and with a renewed sense of hope. It ‘is’ very difficult to find ‘real’ work from home jobs without having to ‘pay’.. and I know that if they ask for money.. run! My disability is from an on the job injury.. 3herniated disc and Fibromyalgia.. whoopee.. BUT there is nothing wrong with my brain and trying to live off of SSI being a single parent.. just ‘ain’t’ getting it. Thank you for including the information!!

   Hi Debi,

   Thanks for your comments. I was starting to wonder if this article was helping any of our disabled work at home seekers. Thank goodness you left a comment!

   Trust me I hear you sister. Ain’t nothing wrong with your brain and you can get the job done! Hopefully the sites will help.

   Hope to see you on the site again.

   I’m on SSI and I only get so much money a month and I have a 3 yr old. So I figured doing something at home would help me out. Finding something that had to do with the disabled just fit in.. I love how we just get classified! So hey when my net comes back up in 2 weeks I’ll get back to you. But don’t lose me!

   Hi Lee,

   Thanks for your comments and being a source of inspiration.
   It’s amazing what doctor’s think and say and then people go and prove just the opposite.

   In any event, in terms of finding free legit work at home, use the resources we listed in the article above.

   Thanks

   It’s about time that I see a site that gives unbiased advice for job seekers especially for the ones who wish to work from home.

   I also am disabled and a lot of the work companies will try to work with people. God knows that offline companies will not even help.

   Hi Eddy,

   I have a hearing impairment, which means I am rubbish on phones and I now also have Fibromyalgia, which means I spend all day every day at home as I am not well enough to go out. I have a degree but no money…incapacity benefit doesn’t pay enough and I’m getting married in May!!!

   I have been searching for “work at home” jobs and have come across loads of scams but no ‘real’ sites. I am glad that you have found helpful sites for us.

   However, I am from the UK and all your sites are American. can you point me in the direction of some legit “work at home” UK sites for disabled people??

   I really hope you can help, I am desperate and at my last tether, money worries are tearing me apart

   Sorry to offload on you

    Hi Gill,

    Thanks for your kind words.
    Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
    No worries about offloading on me. That’s what this site is about.

    Ok, first and foremost we have some international work at home job information you should check out at:
    www.WorkAtHomeNoScams.com/international

    We haven’t forgotten about the folks outside the U.S.
    So make use of that resource. I think the techniques listed there will still apply to you regardless of your disabilities.

    Next I would still encourage you to visit those US sites listed above. But just email them and ask them for international resources. I’m pretty certain they are abreast of other resources. Hopefully that will help.

    If I run into international resources, I’ll be sure to update this article or post a new one.

    I was very excited about this information. I never knew there were companies to hire the disabled to work from home. I checked out a few sites and am pleased to know that I could do work related to my profession of 22 years, Quality Assurance.
    I am disabled, with lumbar spinal stenosis, and cannot sit or stand for long periods of time. Working at home would be perfect for me as I could get up and “stretch” every so often.
    I will surely let you know if I get employment from one of these companies. Keep up the good work. Legit work at home jobs are few and far between.

    Hi

    I’m Lisa and I’m 30 yrs old. Ive been disabled since I was 18 yrs old and I too am on social security here in Florida. I have a walking leg disability. I am sooo frustrated trying to find a work from home job. It’s led to (very bad) crying & depression. I’ve been trying for 5 yrs now to find something real to do from home. My other situation is I couldn’t finish high school so I don’t have a diploma. I also have bad ADHD, OCD and public anxiety which I take xanax for. Anyway that’s the low down on me. I just want a job to work from home. Im not stupid I can read write type and so much more. Im not good at math science nor history. What cause of my disabilities. Besides the ADHD, OCD and anxiety was a car wreck(drunk driver) that put me in a coma and pins in my hips and messed up lower legs.

    Anyways I hope I can get some ideas from this site and some TRUE job help.
    I do understand fully that is takes time and dedication for anything a person does in life. I’m just tired of struggling and having NO money by the end of the 1st week of the month..Only making $570 a month SUCKS !

    Thanx 4 listening

    Hi Lisa,

    Thanks for sharing with us. You’ve definitely been through a lot in your life. I wish I could tell you there is a magic cure for working at home but I would be lying to you. Anything I would suggest takes time, effort and some of the best ways I make money requires a little investment.

    But I would suggest that you try many of the online programs like taking surveys, trying products, or affiliate marketing.

    You can find some recommendations for these things on the following page:
    www.workathomenoscams.com/category/legitimate-work-at-home/

    These things won’t make you a lot of money but some money coming in is better no money coming in.

    With that said, I have to be real with you education is very important. I would strongly encourage you to get your GED. I know there are classes you can take at home. It’s going to be hard to compete with other employees if you lack some of the basic education requirements they have. And I think this would hold true even in the disability websites we provided you above.

    So I would encourage you to look into taking that first step.

    Next I think it’s important for everyone to keep in mind how blessed they are to wake up everyday even if we have all these things against us. I know it sounds corny but when faced with huge obstacles against us, it’s important not to focus on them. It’s better to focus on what you have been able to achieve and the little victories we have everyday. From there it snowballs into bigger and more positive things that happen in your life.

    When we focus on the negatives we often miss the little opportunities that arise.

    I know I was very guilty of that for years. When I started changing my perception about my situations, things started to change for me. And it may be that the opportunities I started seeing were always there. But before because I was so focused on magnifying the negative things in my life it was impossible for me to see these gifts.

    So I would encourage you to do the same. Success in anything starts with our attitude then from there its about taking action. It doesn’t matter what has happened in our past, we all have to focus on what we want now and take action to get it even if it’s baby steps.

    So that’s my advice to you. It’s what I tell my family, friends and loved ones. As a visitor to my website you’re part of the WorkAtHomeNoScams.com family so I have to give you the same type of love. =)

    I hope some of this helped. I know it’s not necessarily the answer to making you money any faster but this advice is what I’ve followed and has changed my life.

    I too have been through a serious accident and had to leave a thriving business and all my possessions just to go back home and survive the ordeal of recuperating with my Elderly Mother- who had been in the same accident-out of state-with me. I have had to look at every single possible way to survive-then the economy has taken a dive and being now 55 doesn’t help (even though I don’t look it). I agree with Eddy-you have to be positive, thankful, everyday in strive for happiness. Things eventually will turn around, and keep trying, never, ever give up. We all become stronger through our struggles and someday we can help someone else just from our own understanding. You have the power to do anything you want to…forget the past, remember the lessons, and move onward and upward…it is the only way there is. You must be careful not to look back, or be reminded of the negative….that is the key look to the future, and stay focused on new beginnings and be excited about NOW! Good luck to you – get the GED and land yourself a great job at home.

    Hi Deborah,

    Thanks for chiming in and sharing your experience with us. You’ve definitely taken the right attitude about the whole situation and I’m happy that you can share that advice with Lisa.

    Everything you’ve said is spot on!

    Joel Osteen had this great analogy that I love telling people. He says life is like driving a car. The windshield is larger than the rear view window because you should be focusing on what’s ahead and not what’s behind you. I thought that was such a profound statement and what I try to live by and encourage others too as well.

    Again I know it all sounds really out there but it’s very true. As a native of the Bronx I’m really skeptical about these type of ideals but I have found it to be really true.

    Hi Wanda,

    Thanks for posting. I feel your frustration.
    But you don’t have to pay for work at home jobs.
    Just use the websites for disabled people listed in the article above and you should be fine.

    In terms of avoiding scams it’s easy to do if you follow the steps listed in this video:
    www.workathomenoscams.com/scamvideo

    You can also find legitimate and free work at home companies on the following page:

    I hope this helps you get started and avoid scams.

    Hi, I thank you for all the words but I have tried for 5 long years to get my ged and no luck. Something in my brain isnt connecting for me. I have atleast a finished 10th grade level but goes no further. Its like my brain went on DUH mode and forgot all logic when it comes to learning the school stuff like 11th and 12th grade things. I dont know Im just gonna keep trying and see what happens for me.

    I would like some clarification. I was under the impression that if you were disabled and drawing SS disability, you could not work -at all-. Yet many on the site say they are disabled ,working and drawing SSI and getting SS Disability checks.
    Can you tell me how this is possible?
    I live in Tx and have fibromyalgia, DJD and other ailments and I have just started to see if I can qualify for SSD but was told I could not work at any job if I did . I am an RN , but can no longer do the work I did and not much of anything else without extreme fatigue. I do not know if I can survive on on SSD. Can you address this issue with Mystery shoppers and working with a disability and benefits.

    Thank you.

    Hi Marie,

    That’s actually a great question. My mother is disabled and always pestering me to find her a work at home job (LOL) but the problem is all the jobs I know of are “on the books”. So she can’t apply for them.

    So I’m not really sure how this would work unless there are different restrictions depending on where you live or the severity of your disability.

    I’m far from an expert so I couldn’t really tell you.
    You may want to try to contact the websites I listed in the article above to see if they can provide some clarification on how this works.

    Sorry, I wish I could provide more insight but this is out of my expertise.

    Anyone else out there that can chime in?

    Hi, Eddy. I am a Texan and on disability looking for legit work from home jobs. I have a success story for you, but I will share it with you another time. I just wanted to clear up the confusion about working while on SSDI.

    The maximum amount a person can make aside from their SSDI check is $900 a month gross. That’s still a good amount of money to have on top of that. (If you work from home make sure you take advantage of tax benefits.)

    And when you begin work they give you nine non-consecutive months to try out the job to see if it’s going to work out for you. Our government encourages disabled citizens to go back to work because it means more money in taxes coming in for the government.

    By the way, do you know if Panda Researh and Tik Tik Cash are legit paying companies? I have been doing surveys there, but I recently saw a complaint and if they are bogus, I want to stop immediately. Thanks for creating this site and helping us all out.

    I am like Marie. I have worked as an RN for 26 years and now have fibromyalgia and djd. I haven’t worked in 1 year but the retirement money is running out. I just came across your site but I have limited access to the internet. I am going to get a computer and attempt to make some money at home and apply for disability be cause I really don’t think I have the stamina to go back to work as a nurse. Any tips would be appreciated because until I get internet at home I don’t have time to go through each site. thanks

    Hi Sky,

    Thanks for the additional SSDI information. This is great that we can all share what we know. I’m sure others are finding it helpful.

    In terms of the companies you mentioned, just do your research via our scam section: www.workathomenoscams.com/scams
    Just watch the video and you’ll be able to determine if you should pursue those companies.

    Now I will say this, one complaint doesn’t mean jack. Every company gets complaints. What you want to look for is a pattern of complaints, how they are resolved and if they’re resolved and finally the number of complaints. When looking at the complaints keep the size of the company in perspective. For instance Microsoft has sold millions if not billions of products. So if they had a few thousand complaints that’s nothing in the grand scheme of things. So
    just keep these factors in mind when doing your research.

    People are quick to call everything a scam related to work at home.

    My recommended list of top surveys are found on the following page: www.workathomenoscams.com/articles

    I would love to hear about your work at home success.
    Please share.

    Thanks.

    Like many of the other people who left comments, I have a disability. The income from that, doesn’t even pay for food. If you follow through your links, they ask for money, which I don’t have (it’s only $39.99 – hurry we only have 3 jobs left). Most of the links are for sale or telemarketing which since I have some problem hearing, I’m unable to do. Affiliate websites are just the AmWay of the web, as far as I can tell. You pay for all of the bells and whistles and then they charge you for it. Medical transcription and tech jobs, if you have the thousands to get the education, MIGHT have some hope, if you already have the money to invest in more training. surveys and “trying products” are, as far I can find out, are just a “hobby”. The government agencies DO NOT HAVE JOBS, they are there only for “training” (I found that out the hard way) and you have to PAY for it. Melwood might have jobs for developmentally disabilities, they probably won’t be reading your blog. Where are the “real jobs”? Did I miss them?

    Hi Kathy,

    Thanks for chiming in. Based on your comments I can tell you’ve been at this for a while & unfortunately the process has beat you down and made you negative about the industry. Sadly that’s common and usually changes when people hang around here long enough. Fortunately for you, we’re solution oriented.

    So let me help you through this, because you made some statements that lead me to believe you really haven’t explored our content carefully.

    The fact of the matter is that we provide tons of opportunities that don’t cost you a dime that can be started right away. I’ve listed them below:

    www.workathomenoscams.com/2008/07/29/work-at-home-with-amazoncom/

    www.workathomenoscams.com/2007/09/13/is-mylotcom-my-lot-a-scam/

    www.workathomenoscams.com/2008/08/11/make-money-finding-deals-on-the-web/

    I could list more but it would be to your benefit to take the time to review the various areas of our blog with an open mind at your leisure:
    www.workathomenoscams.com/work-at-home-reviews/
    www.workathomenoscams.com/articles/
    www.workathomenoscams.com/scams
    www.workathomenoscams.com/ask

    In terms of the traditional jobs, I gather you’ve also missed the following pages:

    www.workathomenoscams.com/companies
    www.workathomecareers.com/help
    www.workathomecareers.com/workathomejobs
    www.workathomenoscams.com/2007/12/04/top-5-free-work-at-home-job-sites-for-2008/

    And finally I think you should read the following pages to help boost your spirit about finding work at home opportunities:

    www.workathomenoscams.com/success
    www.workathomenoscams.com/2008/03/03/only-lazy-people-try-to-make-money-at-home/
    www.workathomenoscams.com/2007/12/26/the-3-best-ways-to-end-job-search-frustration/
    www.workathomenoscams.com/freedom

    At the end of the day, people can easily achieve working at home if they don’t limit themselves to traditional jobs that aren’t readily available in large numbers. Sorry to say, that’s the reality of the situation. I could lie to you and say you’ll land a traditional work at home job tomorrow. But that’s a bunch of B.S. and that’s why you see we recommend things that aren’t traditional but are legitimate and are making people money.

    For some this is a God send, for others they prefer spending their lifetime trying to land that elusive traditional work at home job while making no money in the process. Either way the choice is ultimately yours.

    Our job here is to give you all your options. Some will fit you perfectly and some won’t. But the point is we’re giving you choices that you didn’t know exist to help you work at home sooner.

    So I hope as you read the site in detail you’ll be able to appreciate that effort like so many of our loyal subscribers.

    We’re not about limiting people to traditional work at home jobs because my years of experience has shown me, that they aren’t easy to land. But there are so many other free, available and legitimate non-traditional ways to make money at home if people don’t pigeon hold their potential.

    Hopefully you’ll see that in time. Because the alternative is to be bitter and not making money. And there are a lot of work at home seekers that are professionals in that field. I just hope that this won’t be your fate.

    Thanks again for your comments.

    I hope the material we’ve provided will help you get started.

    Take care.

Since my husband has SSD and I’m not qualify for SSD, and SSI at all. I feel sorta trap. I also have a hard time finding a job. plus I sorta not able to do as job seeker because I take care of my grandkids a lot. I would love to do that kind of job to work at home.

    Hi Eddy,
    How are you doing?
    I’m sorry to keep bugging you, but, I feel like a fool. I’ve been trying some of the surveys and they want me to order stuff to get paid. Is this how they all work? If so I’m going to have to try another route, cause I don’t have money barely to eat and cloth my family. Let alone spend money to make money! I’m not complaining to you, just mad at myself for not understanding.(that’s how I got scamed last time). Please let me know what’s up. My family has been picking on me, not ina good way, for trying diffrent stuff till I find one that I can do.
    Thanks AGAIN for your time, Cheryl

    Hi Cheryl,

    No worries. I think you’re actually getting involved in get paid to try programs which are a great way to make money and you don’t always have to do with paid offers: www.workathomenoscams.com/2008/05/07/getpaidtotryoffers/

    What you want to do is go directly to the survey companies and take the get paid offer website middle man out the equation. Some of our best survey companies are found on the following page:
    www.workathomenoscams.com/2007/12/13/top-5-paid-online-survey-websites/

    and they don’t involve trying products to get paid. It’s just straight survey taking. My favorite is My Survey which will be found on the page above.

    You may also want to look into focus groups:
    www.workathomenoscams.com/2008/01/08/focus-groups-got-paid-150/

    I hope this clears things up for you you.

    Good luck,

    Hi Carole,

    LOL yes there is a lot of reading. But the more reading you do, the closer you are to working at home. I found when I use to just skim through things I missed out on a lot of non-traditional ways to make money. But when I did started reading through sites that provided helpful tips and recommendations, I made money.

    And as many of you know, I now work at home full time.

    Not many people can say that and that should tell you a lot. So read away. I know it may seem very time consuming but trust me when I say you find a lot of diamonds in the rough when you read.

    Good luck.

    I’m amazed at the info you have here. Keep up the good work.

    There is a lot of misconception about SS, SSI and SS Disability. I suggest that people go to www.socialsecurity.gov and check all of the info that pertains to them.

    My husband was on SS disability and a couple of years later I had to go on disability. They automatically stopped my husband’s disability pay. When I called SS they told me only one person per family could draw disability.

    I asked if there was another way for my husband to get paid because we just could not make it on my pay. They told me he could draw SS, so we signed him up for that. They never would have volunteered the info. I had to ask them.

    I’ve talked to several people where both the man and wife were drawing SS disability, but I don’t know how they got it.

    The best thing to do is to call Social Security and ask all the questions you can think of. After all, they are there for us. If you get someone who is rude or not knowledgable, just call back ang get a different person.

    Also, make sure you go to the Department of Human Services (DHS) and apply for everything. Make sure you ask them for other agencies that can help you. They do have information for extra help, although they don’t usually tell you about them unless you ask.

    Sorry this is so long, but having been there and knowing how difficult it is, I want to help everyone I can. A very caring person helped me and I want to pass it on.

    Thanks,
    Nancy

    That’s why they’re listed in our top work at home sites:

    Hello, I am Ericka, and I am so pleased to find out that your site gives info to the disabled. I am completely blind, and have a bachelor’s degree in human services. I graduated last year, and I still haven’t landed a good job yet. Lately, I have been trying to find something that I can do from home to provide some extra finances to this household because my fiance can’t continue to do it alone with help of the small amount I receive in SSI benefits. I am excellent on the phone, but I do not like telemarketing, and I am an excellent typist and computer user. I volunteer as a crisis counselor as well, but I need some money, b.c the bills don’t stop because I got laid off and cant find another job to pay them with

    Thought I would add something else I just found out. If you are drawing SS or SS disability and it is less than $1,011 per month you can call Social Security and apply for SSI. They will send you a check each month that will make your income equal to $1,011. That’s not much for a family. But it’s more than some of you are getting. This is another thing they don’t volunteer. You have to ask for it.

    I’m checking out some of your sites and I am very impressed. You are doing a great job.

    Hi Nancy,

    Thanks for the kind words. We really appreciate them.
    And thank you for more of this information. The one thing I’ve learned about life is that if you don’t ask, don’t assume people will tell you because chances are they won’t especially when dealing with government agencies! My wife is a social worker in a school in the Bronx and she’s always giving her students information about the system that isn’t told to them. She’s even caught some government workers lying to her students about their rights.

    So always ask around and get several opinions to verify if what is being told to you is true. It’s amazing how one person will say one thing and another will say the opposite. Usually after speaking to a few people you find out the truth.

    It’s a dang shame that we even have to go through that but that’s life.

    I love reading your blog, it has helped me in my search to find a work at home job. Like the rest of these people who have replied, I too am disabled. I recently was released after spending two years in hospitals. I was a programmer before I had to go in the hospital. I am now paralysed and wheelchair bound. I need help to do most things. I would think being a as400 programmer that I could get a telecommuting job. I have looked and looked and looked for a RPG job I could do from home but I’ve been unable to find anything. I haven’t even been asked to send my resume. I would do anything that would bring in some money to help with the bills. All I see are the jobs that everyone says to avoid. I hear about contract, telecommute, freelance jobs but I haven’t had any luck finding them. I’m hoping you can head me in the right direction. I would be so grateful for your help. Bob

    Hi Bob,

    Thanks for your kind words. I’m glad you enjoy our little blog.

    I think your programming skills should really give you an advantage. So don’t give up. There are a lot of freelance websites looking for programmers.
    Visit our international page where we list several sites:
    www.workathomenoscams.com/international

    I think it would be a good place to start.

    Just understand that traditional work at home jobs take a long time to land. But at least you have the skills that are in demand. So its just a matter of time. In the mean time try some of the other recommended opportunities we list on the following page:
    www.workathomenoscams.com/articles to get some income flowing in.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi John,

    Thanks for contacting me.
    The first thing you should do is look into some the sites we listed in the article above that help folks like yourself acquire a work at home job. I’ll list them again for your reference:
    www.nticentral.org/
    www.lift-inc.org/
    www.dol.gov/odep/index.htm
    www.jan.wvu.edu/links/employ.htm
    www.melwood.com/

    See what they can offer you or if they can direct you to the right folks that can help.
    I would also encourage you to get more practice with your computer since it’s going to be a huge tool that you’ll need to work at home, doing research to avoid scams, etc. It’s probably the first thing I would do. If you’re able to get around, try taking some classes. If not, try taking some online classes. Or just do searches in google for free online classes on using a computer or free online classes on using the internet. Youtube.com also has a lot of free instructional videos.

    We’ve created a scam video on the following page:
    www.workathomenoscams.com/scams you should probably watch to avoid any possible scams that you will probably run into as you’re looking for work at home.

    Our ask page is also great source of information:
    www.workathomenoscams.com/ask

    We also created an easy 3 step guide on the following page:
    www.workathomecareers.com/help

    So you have some reading to do. The best way to succeed at working at home is to be educated in the various aspect of the industry. It will save you a lot of headaches and mistakes. But you have to be willing to read a lot. And we have tons of information on this site.
    But start with some of the pages we listed above.

    Ultimately mastering your computer and internet skills is the first thing you need to focus on before anything else.

    I hope this helps.

    Eddy

    Hi,
    I’m looking for an online job, but I have no money whatsoever to put into it right now. I have epilepsy and I can’t drive anymore. I’m 43 years old and it is just about to kill me having absolutely no money coming in. I do have bills and I think they are fixing to take my land from me since I have’nt been able to pay them anything in almost 3 months. Please let me know what is the best thing I can do.

    Hi Donna,

    If you’re officially disabled then use the websites we listed in the article above and see if they can help you with a job.
    In terms of folks trying to take your land. You may need to talk to the people that manage your mortgage. Banks
    aren’t really all that enthusiastic to be foreclosing on people because they can’t really easily sell that stuff anymore.
    So try calling your bank and working something out. You would be surprised how accommodating they are now.

    If you’re not disabled then check out the work at home guide we created on the following page:
    www.workathomenoscams.com/workathomeguide
    It will give you everything you need to know to find a work at home job or opportunity. It will
    also guide you on how to avoid scams.

    Between the article above and the guide, you have all the information you need. But you need to actually go through it all
    for it to be useful.

    Understood. But my mother felt she was disabled but the government didn’t think so until it was confirmed by a doctor and then submitted to the government which
    then gave her the designation of disabled which qualified her for certain benefits and programs like the sites that cater to the disabled listed above.
    So certain programs will need an official designation if you don’t have one already. But based on the severity of your condition, I’m assuming you do have one which
    should qualify you for the help from the sites listed in the article.

    Please feel free to check out where I work-I was working when I stumbled on to this site. If you have and can use a computer, scanner, printer and phone, I can hook you up. They are a TICKET TO WORK employment network associated company with the SSA. I love it, they train you at home too. I got in on the ground floor and they are filled up with the main people, but part of my training in HR is to get 5 people hired, so you would have to go through me at aikenbethany@yahoo.com. BUT don’t fret- there are so many EN’s on this program-check it out – if you are on disability you can work and keep your benefits too! Wish you all the best!

    I wish I could say I was put on ssi or disability, but was denied. they said my nervous break down wasn’t a good enough reason to be put on disability. what they don’t tell you when you graduate from college and start your first “real world job” is weather or not to disclose your disabilities, and if those will hinder your ability to find a job. it took me over a year to find my first one, which wasn’t a right fit, and now this one- caused (largely because it’s a toxic work environment) me to have a complete meltdown at work on my lunchbreak. I have Major depression, fibromyalgia, ptsd, ocd (compulsive picking disorder), ADHD, panic attacks, Borderline personality disorder, rotational Scoliosis in my neck and lower back (that got so bad I actually have shrunk in height), and other problems. Suffice it to say, I have called my local BVR, and talked about it extensively with my therapist and psychiatrist. Now all I need to do is have a new primary care physician to back it up and I should be set, right? LOL. that is if my job decides to not fire me for calling off because of a bad fibro flare up- it was so bad I couldn’t sleep even with percocet and robaxin, and a 25mg of rozerum. I woke up and it felt like my whole body was dipped in an acid bath, and on fire. I’m in so much pain, and I’m so damn tired. I wish people realized that this isn’t in our heads. Even my mom said to me this morning, I think this is tied to your emotional stuff and you need to recognize that. OK. whatever. I’m emotionally hurting. Right. Please. step into my body for 10 minutes, then say that. guh. anyway, thanks for these great resources. Any links or suggestions for someone in the NE area, like OHIO, NY, Pennsylvania area? I called our local BVR and they took my info and said “we’re sending you a pamphlet, aka=-”we’ll be in touch” well if I lose my job, that’s not gonna cut it. I suppose I could look at it as a blessing in disguise, considering how much I loath the job, but I need the income to pay my car payments and other bills. not to meantion my health benefits. I’m in deep mega trouble without those….

    Found your website through an article on Ive tried that…bravo. To all of you pwd’s out there harass your state vocational rehabilitation to check out this website and others that promote home based work. I have a small business processing medical claims at home and have been doing it for 10 years! I got my doctors because someone helped me get my first job. I have had 5 doctors and now I am down to one! Health care might not be as recession proof as you think! Anyhow legitimate work at home jobs are hard to find! I too have 3 degrees and can only type by using a mouth stick..takes me awhile but I get it done! Going to contact the ticket to work folks and check this out…thanks for being here all this stuff on the web and sooooo much to find it!

    Dear Mr. Solomon,
    I want to say a big “THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU” for this posting of jobs for the disabled! I am on supplemental SSI because of my back. I have had 3 major back surgeries and am still not able to work full time. My Dr. said if he has to operate on me one more time I will more than likely be paralyzed! No fun! But, I have been looking for a part-time job that I can do at home to where if I have to, I can lay down with my back. I am always in pain! I wish I never had a back problem. A long time ago when my back was in good condition after my 1st operation, I was working 3 jobs! I had 2 part time ones and a full time midnight job! I worked them all for 3 months, then quit one of the part time jobs. Then, I worked the other 2 for 3 more months, then the one part time business went out of business. Then, I just worked the full time job until I had my baby at the time. I love to work, and if I was able, I would probably have 3 jobs again!!!! But, my back keeps me down now. But, when you sent me this post on my email, I was thrilled!!!!! I am going to apply for a part time job on these websites you posted! THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN!!!!!!! I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!! If you happen to find anymore of these websites, please email me and let me know!

    Sincerely,
    Tamra
