[QUOTE="DDD, post: 565791, member: 35"] Like Fran and Hound I had no experience in this arena. I was naive enough to take this sentence literally "a benefits review can be expected in approximately three years". I thought "ok, we're squared away for three years"..not as they have changed things. Sigh. I still don't understand why his food stamps that started at $200 a month were reduced to $16 this month. Maybe ?? because he has over two grand in the bank?? The other more long range rules that confuse me is he cannot have over two grand at any time with-o reporting. So when I die or someone dies and leaves him five or ten grand is the government going to stop giving him as monthly payments until it is depleted? Sneaky stuff is not my thing, lol. on the other hand I've told easy child#1 "maybe" you should receive any inheritance money and then either disperse as needed or purchase valuables to give as gifts so he can't end up with zero income and in need. I am his representative payee for the time being. I "almost" tried to get him in charge of his own funds but I'm sure glad I didn't. He could not absorb all the rules and follow them. Once the lump sum is spent on a house and his mortgage payment is set to come straight out of his account...then he can do it. DDD [/QUOTE]
