Because you are not legally married and have not legally adopted this child. If I'm mistaken and you have adopted this child then yes, you should be able to claim her. If DBF has permanent full time custody and her mother is still alive she should be paying him child support.
Quite frankly, I'm terrified of more cuts being made to the SS and SS Disability systems. Yes, there are many recipients who rightfully deserve the benefits they receive. But, there are also many who "work" the system and collect far more than they are entitled to. This puts a huge burden on an already shaky system. And puts everyone's benefits at risk. And that's not right or fair.
