Hi,

I'm sorry to hear about all of the problems that you're having, and I wish I had some helpful advice to offer you but I don't. Social Security is my only area of expertise, and it sounds like you are likely already getting all of the Social Security benefits for which you are eligible. However, if you are widowed or if you were divorced from someone who has died and to whom you were married for at least 10 years, then you might be eligible for a higher benefit rate on their record. In that case you would want to check with Social Security to see if you could be eligible for survivor benefits.

Best, Jerry
