[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 702972, member: 4152"] Our daughter is also very afraid of losing her SSI. She absolutely does need it and relies on it, so I can understand this. I think you can earn up to $800 a month and still collect disability. I'm unsure if the number differs depending on the state or if this is a federal law. Interestingly, in our particular case, I don't think our daughter could work more than a maximum of 10-12 hours a week. Even this could be tricky/taxing. So, I have suggested that she try to find a job of approximately 10 hours a week. She is mentally ill and has a mild-moderate physical disability due to brain surgery. Perhaps your son could work three days a week for M and have one day to go to the therapist. He can have one day for something else like to go to the gym, a hobby, cleaning his place, etc. Bottom line...a routine that would be simple, but allow him to take responsibility for his life. Maybe he could be paid a stipend. Of course, none of this works if he doesn't buy into it and in my humble opinion if he is not GRATEFUL for such a wonderful opportunity. Lack of appreciation / gratefulness seems to be a running theme with "our" kids. [/QUOTE]
