I believe the court should be required to provide one for you, if you don't know one already.\n\n(under ADA = Americans with Disabilities Act)\n\nMost states have agencies that specialize in serving the deaf/hard-of-hearing community - try looking in your local phone book for state agencies, or contact your state's dept. of human services (or equivalent).\nThey would be able to put you in contact with an interpreter & inform you of your rights under ADA & state laws.

It depends on Indiana state law.\n\nIn Texas, a landlord can give notice for any reason other than discrimination based on a protected class. \n\nBy the way, being disabled makes them part of a protected class.  If there is any way to prove that they are being discriminated against based on their disabilities, you could go to court over it federally.\n\nIf I were you I would check out the local tenant's council if there is one or contact the Indiana version of TREC (Texas Real Estate Commission).  The governmental entities presiding over that type of law are generally helpful pointing you to the relevant laws for your situation.

Why are you applying for s.s.i. when you could be eligible for social security disability?\n  Have you applied, If not do so even if social security says that you are not eligible,file anyway,                  You can retain a disability lawyer when and if disability shoots you down.\n  Most lawyers require that you be denied disability benefits once before they will take your case but it pays to shop around, there might be one that will help you file.\n  Best to get the ball rolling as soon as possible, in the meantime you can go to your local social services office  ( welfare) and see if they can help you out with some food stamps or any other items.\n There are other places you can go to for help, salvation army, united way, and there must be some local programs that you should be able to qualify for.\n  Now is not the time to be too proud to accept a helping hand, If things work out you can always make a donation to the agency that helped.  Check with your local church too.

You need to get a lawyer either way.  Disability is a federal program, not regulated by the states, though you have to go through the state social security system to get placed on disability.  Unless you are missing both arms or are completely paralyzed you NEED a lawyer to have any chance of getting disability.  They deny over 90% of initial applications and without an attourney you have almost zero chance of making an appeal.  If you can show that your condition (no matter what it is) is completely preventing you from maintaining gainfull employment you can get disability.  Right now you'll get about $600 a month plus a supplement for your kids but it will take at least a year (oh, and legal representation ;) to start receiving payments.

Do what you are doing. Go to small claims court first. Then go to the next step after that.

It all depends on your actual case.  Nature and severity of the disability, how and when it occurred, current income/previous income, ability to work, long term care requirements, medical need family etc etc.  Each case is assessed individually according to the specific needs and situation of the person concerned.  If you're looking for state benefits then just apply but if it's a legal compensation thing then you have to go over all this with your legal representative.

If you sue, they are going to argue in court that the time accrues.  They may even bring a more recent version of the handbook with them.  \n\nYou could try sending a demand letter stating that if you have not received all monies due and payable to you pursuant to handbook section #_____ by 00/00/06 you will file in small claims court.  If that does not work, I expect you will have a real fight on your hands.  Good luck.

You have to contact the State Corporation Commission in Texas (which will be in the state's capitol) or secretary of state to find out who their Registered Agent is.  Then you file the small claims against the company name, but use the registered agent as well on the small claims case document.  Then send it via certified mail to the registered agent.  if no registered agent, you can try sending the case via certified mail direct to the company, but I am not sure if TX law accepts service that way for a corp.

TAKE THEM TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT.

Yep. Small claims. They will have to show up and they probably do not have the time so usually just the threat of court will be enough.  If they don't show, you win automatically.  I took my landlord to court and it was very satisfying to see him squirm in front of the judge.  That was worth more than the money he had to pay me!

From what I read, it sounds like you have a case.  There are lawyer who are pro bono and they will be able to help.  I think the site might be www.bcis.gov

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.

go to social services and apply for food stamps. You might also try going to the local section 8 office and applying for housing...they won't assist you until you are on their program.. Sometimes churches will help if you have a shut off notice or eviction notice. If you have little income, you might quailfy for medical benefits. Ignore these people who tell you to give off your butt and go to work.. It's those people who know very little about what it's like to need help. They have been telling me that for years and I am on disability..disability/work doesn't go together. People are just judmental.one day they will they may need the help to and they will have people telling them the say thing.

do you get disability?

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