[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 554798, member: 1550"] Another big perk you can get, if he is declared disabled, is good housing where they are basically independent, but a caseworker checks in with them. My son is trying to get into one really nice apartment complex that is like that. The rent is only 30% of whatever his income is...some residents work at a sheltered workshop, but others have community jobs. I believe the diagnosis of Traumatic Brain Injury would be enough to get disability services, however they don't make it easy for you. I was told that on average the person has to apply four times. Also, if son is incapable of taking over his expenses or making decisions, you may want to look into getting legal guardianship of him. If you don't, then at eighteen his decisions are his own and he may put himself in danger. [/QUOTE]
