Thank you Sarah Mae,
The information you provided and the dialog between Janke was very helpful. My son is not able to work at this time so we see ourselves in a similar situation. Can I ask if there was anything your Mom needed to do to qualify her home as your care giver's home? Best ------------------- Quote:

thanks for the links Janke!
I am new to SSI and somewhat new to chat rooms. I just now realized your response included links. The links have great information! It will take us sometime to digest it (understand it). My wife called the SSI. They recommended to fill out the application on line prior to meeting with them. Our meeting is scheduled late next month. I assume he needs to be at the appointment or can my wife and I represent him? Any recommendations what paperwork to bring with us? thanks |

It was important to have this information: -my bank account, since they asked if I would like direct deposit if I was awarded SSI -a complete set of medical records with diagnosis, notes from the doctor, surgeries/procedures, and medications -a basic summary of how my disabilities prevent me from "normal" activities, such as caring for myself, driving, and working (this will come into play later on when you fill out the function report, but it never hurts to have it on hand in case you get nervous and can't get the words out correctly) Good luck. It can be a very long process--some have waited years and have gone through many denials. I was just approved yesterday. I wish you the best!

Hello again Sarah Mae,
My son has a disability recognized by SSI and therefore we don't expect to go through what much others have. We, my wife and I, will comply the paperwork you mentioned. We will meet with the SSI representative. I don't think my son will have a productive phone interview as it will likely leave the SSI representative in a very frustrated mood. Although, it could be very entertaining to listen in on it. My son won't have any idea what the representative is talking about and will likely try to steer the conversation to his favorite Disney character. ... I have a very odd sense of humor. Thanks again. You have been very helpful. ------------------ Quote:
