[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 290912, member: 1545"] [url]http://www.livestrong.com/article/14712-developing-detachment/[/url] I do quite a bit of disability application with my clients at work. My advice? Try to apply yourself the first time. The fact that she is homeless should help her cause. Your daughter is also going to need a paper trail - records of diagnosis, lost jobs, medications, trips to doctors, hospitalizations, etc. The first attempt should take around 4 months. Then if you are denied, I would recommend an attorney. Do you have any homeless shelters where you live? That is always an option for your daughter in the short term. They are not the ritz, but they are fed, showered and have shelter. Many of them even provide some sort of job search support, life skills classes,etc. Check in your area. A book that I recommend reading is called "One Sad Ungathered Rose" by Susan Poole. Amazon carries it. It is a the true story of an elderly mother who spends her entire lifetime trying to fix her mentally ill daughter. It changed my perspective immensely. Read through the website above. It is amazing information. Welcome to our forum!! [/QUOTE]
