[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 290904, member: 1550"] If t his helps, I have been told that a bipolar diagnosis is almost an automatic, but a professional has to give the diagnosis (this was my diagnosis). I got disability the first time I applied. Also, a paper trail of professionals and jobs s he's had and failed at is good. I did that too. There is no magic way to push yourself to the head of the line fast except to be obviously unable to work. I had heard nobody gets disability the first time they apply, but I did and they said the magic word was "bipolar." If I needed it, I would then also apply for social services, assisted living or low income housing, and all sort of services. You automatically get Medicare. Your case is reviewed every three years, at least in Wisconsin where I live, but for me it's just automatic. Gather all the names and addresses of her past doctors and jobs and go for it. Good luck! You deserve a break and that happy retirement! There are supports out there for your daughter. All she has to do is take advantage of them. [/QUOTE]
