SSI seems to be a joke. People who really need it are turned down routinely. Get yourself an attorney who specializes ii SSI cases. You only pay them if, and when, you win your case. If you lose, and I hope you do not, they cannot charge you a fee.

I just learned about this. I did not pursue my own case at the time, and I was very sick. Since they turned me down I have gotten better but I was too demented to pursue it at the time.

Search the web, I'm sure you will find help.

God Bless
