[QUOTE="Fran, post: 379167, member: 3"] Until difficult child is 18, it will be based on income of the family. Once he is considered and independent adult it will be based on his income. I do not believe having or not having a driver's license makes a difference. We didn't apply until 21 so I'm not sure but it was never asked. You do need evaluations and reports by the specialists. He will have to see one of the SS. specialists for an evaluation before a final determination is given. Waste of time is dependent on what you expect. In our case it was a way to access services that aren't readily available to the private sector like case management and job coaching. It allows your son medicaid if medical coverage is a problem or will be a problem after 18. Income wise, it isn't much especially if he lives at home but it helps to feed and clothe him. [/QUOTE]
