Getting Disability Benefits With Epilepsy

I’m on disability and it really helps. But it’s no where near what I made while working. I went from over $6000 a month to getting just over $1200 a month, and with the cost of living here, it’s really tight. Prices are around 3x’s as much as what they should be, but being on disability really helps. I’m also on income support which pays all my utilities, so between the two ( and I own my own place) I can afford to live, and possibly go out maybe once every couple months or so, but I don’t, I put it towards other necessities
