I've been on SSI most of my adult life and I can tell you that you will get denied, then you will have to file an appeal. SSI will probably send you to their own psychologist and from there who knows. If you keep getting your appeals denied, the final step will be you hiring a lawyer and there will be a court case where a judge will look over the evidence and make a final decision. I am not going to downplay the severity of your situation in anyway, but to give you a comparison, I have schizophrenia, which is about as crazy as they get and I had to apply, get denied, appeal, get denied, go to work for 9 months and fail, then apply again, put on a short term trial period, then reevaluated through a rigorous series of psychological tests before they finally conceded that I am disabled. Process started in spring of 2000 and I got my award letter in August 2004. You are in for an up hill battle.

If you applied for SSI you would get it. There are medications that you need to be on and you need to be seeing a Dr. Besides you will need to have a Dr to help with your SSI. I am 46 and suffer from several ailments including fibromyalgia, so I understand your problem.  There is help out there. It seems like once we hit 40 we start falling apart. Good luck to you and I hope I was helpful.

Yes. Go to the closest Psychiatric Emergency Service, they will be able to help you. I am sure you have very serious reasons to consider that, but it would be best to talk to a professional about that. You'd surprised how much they can help.

Congratulations.  You're no longer homeless!!!\n\nIn your other question postings, you were homeless, and had a 20 year old pregnent girlfriend.  Clearly you've corrected that.  And you are clearly a very smart 11 year old, since you make so much money playing blackjack despite your mental disorders, so I'm sure you'll be able to work through this problem.\n\nOh, and I hope you cleared up that Walmart theft problem you had the other day, where they "tackled" you in the office.  Heck of a thing for an 11 year old to go through.

That depends on where you live....call your local social services adn ask them how you would go about  seeking help.

Are you really incompetent or are you just making some very unhealthy decisions for yourself? Ask a therapist this question. Can you prove to whoever it is that has control of your affairs that you can do things responsibly. See if they will give you a chance with it and check how that turns out. Good luck to you.

Definitely go to your state health department!  At least you are seeking help for your mental health issues! If they cannot provide you with benefits (which they should), they will likely be able to guide you to an agency that would be able to help. I wish you the best!!!

You will absolutely not qualify for Social Security disability. \nI copied this from the social security website.\n\nDisability under Social Security for an adult is based on your inability to work because of a medical condition.  To be considered disabled:\n\nYou must be unable to do work you did before and we decide that you cannot adjust to other work because of a medical condition.\nYour disability must last or be expected to last for at least one year or to result in death.\n\n\n If you were injured while you were working you may be able to get workers comp.

Has her oncologist said shes terminal ? or is it curable?? If shes terminal, she SHOULD be able to get SSI immediately, I did. And if shes too sick to go to them, they will do it over the phone. There are research clinical trials she may be able to get in also that would not cost her, but the important thing is to get her help ASAP! Most if not all hospitals have a fund set aside for patients who can not afford hospital bills, cant think of the name of it tho.. anyway, my aunt who is a nurse told me to go to the billing office and tell them I could not pay for my treatment (this was before i got the SSI) , and they could not turn a person down.. you have to sign a paper claiming pauper status, or did at that time. Check with her hospital and see if they have it, they will not offer it thats for sure but have to answer if they have such a program in thier hospital! Good luck and hopefully she will be getting treatment soon!\nOHHHH does she or can she get Welfare, such as food stamps? Some states will give you a medical card along with the food stamps if you are sick, so that might be an option also.

It is my understanding that SSI disability is a federal program under Social Security. Therefore there is no difference in the benefits received in different states.\n\nInstead of looking for more money, perhaps you should consider finding where it's less expensive to live on the income you have.

sorry when you have money you can not get help.  I was a single parent as my son was growing up and I did not use aid I got a job and raised him, he then learned if you want something you have to work for it. You could always get a job.  I am disabled and have medicare.  If you are too sick to work you can apply.

Your benefits are separate.the only thing that would be affected would be the amount your dependents would get.If you are on SSI then it would matter,because that is determined by income and resources

emergency petitons for psychiatric evaluations are NOT an arrest.. nor are they availible for review by an employer.. the American Disablities Act prevents this.. and gives you ground for a law suit if it is used against you.. you do need to make your employer aware of your conditon.. \n\nif he fires you.. you will file a claim with the ADA.. chances are they will deny your claim if you didnt make them aware of your illness prior to employment.. after the ADA reviews this .. you will be given a "right to sue" letter.. (whether the ADA find validity in your claim or not-- you still have to go through this) \n\nonly after the proceedings with the ADA can you get a lawyer involved.. he will argue that you didnt make your employer aware of your illness prior to employment because they would have not hired you in the first place.. \n\nmany lawyers work probono and have a field day with employers like these.. \n\nbottom line.. mental illnesses such as Bipolar.. are a disabilty furthermore.. you may also be eligible for Social Security.. so you dont have to put up with narrowminded employers..

1.  Prison-  Depends on what he did.\n2.  Your Disability - depends on what is wrong. I just had an uncle become a quad parapoligic, one had a heart attack (three surg already) those people deserve disability.  The are not able to work.  I hope you get a fair hearing based on your disabilities.  However, you should be deserving.  Only you know that.\n\n3.  Your daughters.  SSI - that's one for the others.  I have issues with SSI.  There are deserving individuals that will never function in society.  But, there are others that could work, but choose not to.  I too have my own set of problems..... But I work.  My husbands works and I am raising my children to do their part so that I will be able to (when I am 65 and can no longer) or if some indiviual is BORN with physicall and mental challenges that will keep them unable to work.  I think the court could be stricter on the SSI ....  Get these people rehabilitated and get them to work.  You usually know those from birth who will not function in society.  There are those above the rule that develop problems later in life, but those are the unfortunate ones.

Yes. Speak to her physician or psychiatrist. You will need a letter of reference from him/her. You can apply for disability allowances.
