Hello blossom,
I've been on SSDI for quite some time now. in the past things went pretty smoth with them. But then about a year and a half to 2 years ago bush ordered SS not to accept as many qualified members into SSDI as they used to, because it would hurt his budget for the war. So I wonder if that's the reason your daughter won't get the benefits. Also at SS they say you can have a hearing if you're not approved. That sounds like you'll see a judge against them. But who you see is just a high ranking supervisor in SS that has a talk with you. A friend on the live chat at
www.epilepsy.com told me what he went through there. Please take care.

When I got the phone call that I was approved for disaility in 2006, they told me that my daughter wouldn't get any benefits because I hadn't worked enough. She was 12 at the time.
After reading through the SSA web site, I am more confused than ever.
Why can't my daughter get any benefits on my disability? I read that most children get half of their parent's benefit.
Could someone help me?
Thank you in advance.
