If you have concerns about this, consider writing your House member which can be found in the link below. Even if they oppose the cut, send them a short note why SSDI is important to you and thank them for your support.
Your note can be as short as "Please vote so that SSDI will not be cut. SSDI is important to me because....."
Other links go to reporting on the situation. Interestingly, I believe AARP -- one of the biggest senior lobbying groups -- opposes the cut even though the funding would come out partly of the usual (e.g. non-disabled) Social Security fund; this is because their membership include many 50-64 yr. olds on SSDI due to illness/ disability.
