Need advice

My wife recently lost her sight and her job. We filed for disability and received a check for 2 weeks and they said that's all she would get because she was cleared to return to work. We didn't tell them that and she certainly can't return to work...she can't see. We're in our 70s and have a rough time dealing with it all. We're not sure what our next step should be. Would appreciate any advice. Thank you in advance.
