[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 568651, member: 1550"] Has he ever applied for disability? You get medical coverage if you are considered disabled, at least in Wisconsin. Sometimes you have to apply more than once. A diagnosis of bipolar, at least in Wisconsin, really helps speed things along towards getting disability. Unless he is considered disabled, the truth is, the government help just won't be there. in my opinion you have to try really hard to get it. Then he can get housing, psychiatric services and everything else, but he needs to be deemed disabled first. He certainly sounds disabled to me. in my opinion you have no choice but to try to get him disability help. That's the only way his services will not cost him anything. I'm talking about more than just his medical expenses now...I mean his services in the future too. It does not appear that he is able to really work, possibly due to his bipolar. by the way, if he is considered a disabled adult and lives with you and you do services for him, you can get paid for it, at least here in Wisconsin. I'm sure Florida is a little different...it varies state to state. [/QUOTE]
