[QUOTE="OTE, post: 4164"] My question is... why does her psychiatrist think she qualifies? Certainly psychiatrists know about SSI and wouldn't recommend a stable person who is functional apply... Whether or not she gets approved depends upon how she functions as compared to her peers. How long can she hold a job? Does she lose jobs because of her illness/ behavior? The process is very long typically. My application for myself was submitted about a year ago as I recall. My bet would be that she'll get turned down twice and will have to appeal in court. here it takes 7 to 8 mo just to get a hearing date... so you're looking at what could be a 2 yr process. This is not money she can count on in the near future. BUT... if she stands a chance of losing the stability then I'd say apply and start the process. Note that at 18 SHE has to apply- this is not something you can do without her. [/QUOTE]
