I thought that Jo, but then I read the pamphlet and it said those benefits could stop if she marry's. I thought that would be crazy. But maybe they feel that disabled people are no longer disabled if they marry?

"If he or she receives benefits as an adult disabled since childhood, the benefits generally end if he or she gets married. However, some marriages (for example, to another adult disabled child) are considered protected.
The rules vary depending on the situation. Contact a Social Security representative at 1-800-772-1213 (If you are deaf or hard of hearing, call TTY number 1-800-325-0778) to find out if the benefits can continue.
