Apparently my local Trustee's office is refusing to provide help with our utility bills because of my communication equipments which is reliant on the internet,
As many of you know, I am unemployed and am working on my SSDI case as well as I am caring for my bedridden wife who is a stroke victim (3 years ago) and a double amputee (since 15 years of age due to bone cancer).
So our only source of income is my wife's SSDI checks.
So the Trustee's office said they will provide help with our utility bills if I shut off my internet connection which would leave me totally silent with the hearing world and no sole means of communicating with the hearing world (i.e. doctor appointments for my wife, script refills, etc.).
I've spoken with a few other deaf individuals from varying cities of the same state as I live in and they too have the same problem.
So I am curious as to how widespread this problem is varying from state to state?
Any of you encountered this problem as well?
