Did Chamberlain Edmonds apply for SSDI or for SSI. Their web site suggests they would apply for SSI and Medicaid in hopes of receiving payments for the hospital. Any SSDI application starts after a SSI application.

Document, document, document is true but the attorney should be meeting with you before submitting an application. Does not sound right to me.

Go to the SS website and look for the Disability Blue Book. Find the part about brain injuries and also the part about mental illness. They both apply. You will see the terms they look for. I cut and pasted the relevant issues into my own document for later reference.

btw, What happened to the pedestrian he hit ?
