Speaking of English...
What do heck does "Skive" mean?

Being a carpenter for over fifty years and was trained by an old school carpenter, "skive" was the term used to remove just a bit of wood so that you had a better marriage of two or more pieces of wood. Many woodworking terms have alternate meanings. Examples: horse, jack, cripple, rabbit, mortise, stud, joint, style, rail, hip, valley, ridge, header, tongue, groove, story, tread, leg, and boxing, only to name some that came quickly to me. I was not aware of another use of the word skive until today. Using skive in a woodworking related sentence: Skive some off of the head for it's a sixty fourth thicker than the leg. :)

I still cannot reveal I am engaged to someone, because have to walk through the Social Secuirty office, even though was under oath, only the laywer whom really helped me with the case really knew.
Your entitlement--or lack thereof--to SSDI has absolutely nothing to do with your relationship status. You're either entitled to it--by virtue of meeting its qualifications, e.g., having accumulated sufficient, recent work history -and- paying into SS--or you're not.

SSDI = Social Security Disability Insurance. Just like any other insurance, you have to pay for it. Either you did or you didn't. I know I did, for 31 years. Your right to collect its benefits is not affected by having a girlfriend/spouse.

Perhaps you're actually receiving SSI--Supplemental Security Income--and its benefits are affected by relationship status. I don't know--I have way too many assets to qualify for it, so I've never had reason to look into it.

If I were you, I'd be on the phone first thing tomorrow morning to have your lawyer clarify which benefit you're receiving. If you're really getting SSDI, and your attorney thinks it's affected by your relationship status, find another lawyer immediately. :eek:
