[QUOTE="witzend, post: 565740, member: 99"] Thanks, all. I feel badly saying this, but it has been a little over 10 years since I first posted when M was in the Residential Treatment Center (RTC), and I think this is the first time I have [I]ever[/I] posted anything that was just gladness and relief. I'd be ashamed if we all hadn't been so undermined by people who wanted thought that they knew better than we did what was best for us. As it is, I think that we have all done as well as we could under the circumstances. DDD and Janet, M's never really worked, so I have to assume that he is getting SSI. The government site says that OR administers SSI funds, so who knows what the rules are. Same as NC, it says. He should be able to get Medicaid now, which is a big relief. He can finally see a doctor and get back on medications, I hope. M's probably mentally capable - if maybe not mature enough - to deal with a savings account and back moneys. Not sure how they will deal with that. He was so excited he had this five page letter he had not read yet, and called his dad and I to tell us. I think that his girlfriend can help keep him on track, too. I know that husband would never have had a penny if he'd stayed a bachelor. I think that Lisa's Travis got SSI then got back money from an appeal, didn't he? I remember her being anxious about whether they would withhold the original settlement while they waited on the appeal, but then they didn't, I think. Hopefully she'll chime in here. He first applied several summers ago when he was hospitalized for depression. [/QUOTE]
