I am on ssi and Medicaid and my pain meds are paid for.

If you have qualified for SSDI you will also qualify for Medicare (regardless of age), and usually another form of state aid, those will cover a great percentage of your medication costs.

Not in England you have to pay for your own medications

Medicare and Medicaid are the two Government programs that can pay for medications.

If you are on SSI you qualify for Medicare after a 2 year waiting period which starts as soon as you qualify for SSI.

You may qualify for your state's Medicaid depending upon your income.

I’m on as disability and they pay my meds
