What's it cost to declare bankruptcy?
I handle disability appeals. I can’t solicit cases, but your uncle should talk to a lawyer who handles Social Security disability claims. From what you’re saying, he may have a good chance at getting benefits.

Go to ssa.gov and make a MySsa account for him and it would show him what his monthly benefits would be. Use that to make a budget for him. Avoid bankruptcy if at all possible.

I hate it but I agree with you on this forum for about the first time ever. I was advised during my divorce to declare bankruptcy and went to the lawyer's office to start the process. When I got home and thought about it, decided that my pride was all I had left and decided not to do it. I made contact with anyone I owed money and answered when they called me and worked my way through it. I know everyone has a different life experience, but for me not doing so worked out. It was one of the smarter decisions I made during that time.
