9. She first applied 6 months ago.

That was before her cancer was detected. She applied because she had blood in her stomach, liver disease, kidney disease, and back problems. They never turned her down, but they kept asking for more information. She was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer 5 weeks ago and Duke University Hospital sent their report to SSI. She had a phone interview with SSI 4 weeks ago. The letter came yesterday. It contained her health and financial information. It said if everything in their letter was correct then she would receive SSI and Medicaid in 90-120 days. I guess they figure they can save some money if they don't accept you until you are dead.
