[QUOTE="DDD, post: 565728, member: 35"] I am so happy to read the news. on the other hand :consoling: I've got to tell you it is complicated dealing with these people..REALLY complicated. As you know I am not a "dummy" but many times I just sit looking at the newest mailed list of rules and truly wonder how to H anyone who is disabled can follow the bouncing ball. Seriously. As an example the lump sum money that goes back to when he first applied...the "big" money...has to be kept in a separate account from the monthly income money. It is [B]against[/B] the rules to mix funds. That money is not given in one lump sum (or at least easy child/difficult child's isn't). The government does not trust that a large sum of money should just be released to a disabled person so it is released in increments AND they, evidently, want an accounting of how you have spent your first allocation before releasing the second allocation. I won't keep going BUT take my word for it. I am a smart cookie and it is "you know whattin" complicated. I have easy child/difficult child's money in a credit union. There is a savings account where I'm keeping his lump sum payments until we have a closing on the house and there is a checking account. Both are required by the credit union. A teller put a deposit in his savings account instead of his checking account and when I realized it I thought OMG I hope I can explain to the SS people what happened. Geez Louise. Be very careful. I still can't believe how complicated it is. by the way, they have changed his food stamps amount, the monthly income amount, and the method of payment........and it's only been a few months. STRESS! on the other hand, I'm joining in the HAPPY DANCE for M. What a relief it is to be approved. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
