[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 230437"] Ok, I will tell you the little bit I know. Both my kids receive survivors benefits as well. I have applied for SSI for difficult child and he was declared disabled, but does not get any funds because we make too much. They do not count the other siblings income from the survivors benefits when they calculate the SSI, they only count any income from you and the income that the child receives on survivors benefit. In my opinion it couldn't hurt to apply for SSI. I was told by Social Security that when difficult child turns 18 then he will have to reapply for benefits as an adult, in the mean time they will review it to determine if he is still disabled every few years. I don't know the circumstances of your children illnesses, but in my situation, my difficult child has had numerous hospitalizations over the course of 1 year so that helped on our part. On the other hand, I have not applied for SSI for his sister yet, even though she is diagnosed as rapid-cycle bipolar, she has never been hospitalized as of yet. As far as your difficult child 1, you could apply now, but like I said, I was told that my son would have to reapply when he turned 18. [/QUOTE]
