[QUOTE="DDD, post: 141628, member: 35"] Thanks for the info. On the further information request the emphasis is on seizures (number, frequency, type, manifestation etc.) and then...there is a question that is there like an afterthought. How much alcohol do you drink? I am a truthful person. I am not "out to get something for nothing" etc. but if alcoholism deep sixes applications..that is a problem question. The absolutely true valid answer is "I do not know how much easy child/difficult child drinks as due to his short term memory problems he does not recall previous drinks when being offered an alcoholic beverage." Yep, that is evidently true most often. on the other hand there are nights when he buys a bottle with the full intention of drinking the WHOLE thing...and he does. The booze impacts the brain cells due to the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The after effect of drinking to excess is never distinguishable from a "black out". His impulsiveness is extreme due to the frontal lobe damage. His cognitive deficits prevent mature analysis. He memory issues add to his inappropriate choices. I can barely sort through it myself and make sense of the picture. It is going to be more than challenging to present it. If he sets out to do the laundry for the family........he never gets past load two. If he comes to my store to help out...he can't maintain his focus for twenty minutes at a time and has to walk around, have a cigarette, watch traffic. He IS disabled but how to get his qualified is the 64 million dollar question. I guess I'll just do my best and be prepared to reapply if turned down.. Thanks everyone. DDD [/QUOTE]
