Hi

Is there anyway that your daughter could be supported in order to remain in college? I know in the UK I am registered as disabled (I'm 20 with severe full body RSD) and I use an electric wheelchair and have a live in 24hr carer to help me with stuff. I also get alot of academic support (scribes etc) for lectures and help with assignments etc because i can't hold a book etc. In the US can you be recieveing disability and attending college?

Good luck!!

Hi Momtres,


Has she applied for Social security disablility. Yea thats based on how much you have earned in the past , but she can get that AND SSI, which is supplimental income and that pays for the rest of stuff. I believe if i remember right that if she gets ssd, and gets below i think 400$ a month then she is elidgeable to get SSI in addition to and then also get medicare and all the health insurance.

Hope i helped.. i would also look on the SSD web site.. or give them a call , they are really nice and konw alot! (at least theones i talked too...)

How is your daughther doing???
