[QUOTE="DDD, post: 599432, member: 35"] I am not an expert. difficult child#2 was on disability for about eighteen months. He has a variety of MH issues that were well documented by experts when he lived with me. He was not given an option but was given an appointment to meet with a therapist for "review". The therapist was the one I used when difficult child#2 was in elementary/middle school and frankly I found him to ge a pleasant but not very swift professional. I drove difficult child#2 to his appointment and when the therapist came out to get him he asked difficult child "would you like to come in alone or would you like your Grandmother to come with you?" difficult child opted to go alone as he was happy to see a familiar face. He lost his disablity status (a letter came in a few weeks). It is not possible to id his disabilities in a brief visit. He is a good looking kid, polite AND gives upbeat responses (that often have no validity). "How are you doing difficult child?" "Great!" "Do you have any friends?" "Yes...I have alot of friends!" "Do you have a job?" "I am going to the community college next semester to become a Nurse." "That's great, difficult child". I appealed with-o success. The appelate SS officer told me "I really understand what you are dealing with but there is not enough evidence that he is unable to work. I will recommend he reamain covered but frankly I doubt he will be." It has been three years or so. difficult child does not live with me. He has been hired by McD's and couldn't take the stress of multi tasking. Recently he was hired to become a Correctional Officer for the State. That career ended on the third day he began training. In answer to your question I do not think you can say No. I know that they want "current" evaluations that prove disability. As an adult your difficult child will be alone to answer questions. I wish you well. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
