I don't know, she told me that SSA told her that they base their decision for SSI on the total income of everyone in her house. This is before she even went to apply for food stamps. Like I said, I don't know how much her SSDI check is each month and I suppose with that and her survivors benefits from dad, she could be over the limit and misunderstanding SSA. The boy John did try to go in the Army. He went and signed up before he turned 18 and my parents signed for him. He wouldn't actually go on active duty until after he turned 18. He went to the induction center for the physical and they said he has shin splints, what ever that is. He also has an inner ear problem. He is actually healthy as a horse and as big as an ox. He wears a size 13 or 14 shoe. Many years ago, after my parents saved the kids from DHRS, their mother decided to follow some crack head up to South Carolina. John has been talking to his mother on the phone lately. He wants to go up there so my brother agreed to buy him a plane ticket and give him a little money to eat on for a while. This is his decision and he is over 18 so I don't guess we can stop him from going.
