[QUOTE="Mitchell's Mom, post: 4234, member: 415"] Greetings. I'm in the process of getting information, researching and so on, but the long and short of it is this: We have outstripped our pharmacy benefits as of now for difficult child#2's medications. We cannot afford $900 per month just for his medications. The psy. doctor is working with us to get through December, but I'm still going to have to fork out about $250 (usually $50). Even though the benefits start again as of January, by the end of April, we'll have outstripped them again. To that end, I called (among other agencies) Social Security to see if we qualify for SSI Disability for difficult child#2. The person I talked to was very helpful, friendly and gave me a ton of information and indicated that we might actually qualify. I have an appointment. on Dec. 15th to apply. We NEED these benefits. What can I do to get what we need? I am not totally comfortable "playing the system" as it were, but I will do what I need to do, short of outright lying to get it. If anyone has been through this, can you please offer me advice? You are welcome to PM me if you're uncomfortable posting it here. I am getting records, letters and recommendations from his docs, school and so on. The school is doing a psychiatric. evaluation next week, but the results won't be available by this appointment. Is there anything I can do to tip the scales in our favor? Anything would help! Thank you in advance and hugs to you. MM [/QUOTE]
