[QUOTE="PattyC, post: 4238, member: 1925"] We just received SSI for my stepson (19 yo). We were told it would be a difficult, long process and he would probably be denied and we would need to appeal. Fortunately, he was awarded the benefits within 2 months. I can tell you to take in all pertinent information. We had 4 psychiatric. evaluations that had been done over a 5 year period. His diagnosis is Asperger's and Depression. It would probably be difficult to receive the benefits without the full evaluations done. Because of his Asperger's he was in out of home placements for 6 years and I'm sure that had an impact on their decision. In the state of Maine there is "Medicaid" for children that are at risk of out of home placement. Here it is called the Katie Beckett program. It was developed to help families that didn't meet the criteria for state assistance financially but allows for children to receive all the benefits medically and psychologically in hopes of keeping them at home. I hope this helps... Patty [/QUOTE]
