No COLA for 2016! [View all]

While my rent went up $100 a month, my disability will not move. This is so depressing and upsetting!
Socialsecurityworks has a petition.
I've been disabled since a child and my benefits have barely moved in all those years.
Please join me in trying to fight this! Write your senators, congressmen, etc. and most of all VOTE! The disabled are not a large group in numbers, so we all have to look out for each other.
Just because we are disabled does not mean we should live in poverty!
