[QUOTE="babybear, post: 5002, member: 2712"] My sister, a county financial worker, has been trying to convince me to file for ssi for difficult child. I had started the process last year but it seemed like an awful lot of work for a very small amount of additional money.( about $35 a month was what I was told then) Now even that would help, but is it worth it?? I really hate dealing with all that paperwork. Like there isn't enough already! I am self-employed so my income goes up and down a lot. Also, my sister seems to think that the interviewer was probably trying to discourage me from applying. Her job involves working with people who are coming to the end of eligibility for benefits and she helps a lot of people through the ssi process so she does have experience with it. Any opinions from those who have been through the process would help a lot. I would like to get a realistic idea of what the benefit amounts are. If you are not comfortable sharing that info publically, feel free to send a private message. thanks in advance Kirsten [/QUOTE]
