Yes, I live in the US. Are you inquiring about Social Security Disability? I know there's lots of information online but I've never applied.

Yes, there is a support group here in the US. It's called PBCers Organization and can be found at pbcers.org. Hope this is helpful.

Really looking for people in Louisville, KY so we can meet and start an awareness of PBC. Thanks already a member of PBCers.org since diagnosed.

I live in the US. I have filed for SS Diability and have been denied twice and now waiting for the hearing. I didn't have an attorney until I was denied twice. pbcers.org is a great site and there is also a couple groups on facebook.

I am in the good ole USA. Oklahoma to be exact. I recently had to file for disability, I am waiting for a decision now. I am so hoping it is approved and I don't have to keep fighting for it. My plan, if denied, will be to obtain an attorney to fight the rest of the way for me. Good luck to you.

Not what you're looking for?
