Daughter Kristina,

Welcome to Neurotalk. When you turn 18, the disability people look at your disabilty using adult criteria. If you look under ssa.gov there is a publication "Disability Evaluation Under Social Security" (SSA Publication No. 64-039), that you can look at to see if you meet the criteria. You might want to talk to your doctor and make a copy of the section about your disability and maybe he/she can write a statement that you meet certain criteria and that you are unable to work. I hope this answer helps. Sometimes it's pretty easy to stay on disabilty especially since you've been on it all your life and your disability has not changed.

Hugs and doxie kisses, Doxie Mama
