Level one

I am physically disabled (MS), and have been out of the work force for a number of years. (I worked as a molecular diagnostic lab technologist and a cytogenetic technologist).
There are strict regulations as to how much money I can make or have in assets without losing my benefits. So my question is this: how do I break out of this rut I am stuck in? I fought a three year battle to receive my benefits, and entering into a new phase, while exciting, is also scary as I would lose my health insurance and my income.
