[QUOTE="moonglow, post: 314155, member: 256"] Yea I agree..it is his money, but apparently due to parents with disabled children taking their money and spending it on other things...not on the child at all, they cracked down on this some years ago and set up strict guidelines. I had to open a special savings account for this back pay and the rules were it was to be spend only on certain things..medical, educational and things related to his disability. His monthly checks were suppose to go towards clothes, food, etc... What made me so angry is since we are low income, he has a medical card that covers all his medical needs and pays for his mediation. Don't have to pay the school fees, and his lunches are free too. Since his disability was emotional...I didn't need it to built a ramp or anything for him..not that type of disability. So I rarely used it. I did use it for chiropractic care for his back since his medical wouldn't cover that..and one time he sprained his ankle badly and the charge for the brace wasn't covered so I used it for that. If I don't use it within those guidelines they can make me pay it back. I am disabled and that is what we live on...I really couldn't afford for them to take money out of my disability check and I sure don't want to be in legal trouble for not following their guidelines. But like I said, since he is no longer disabled it doesn't seem like this would apply anymore...was hoping someone knew for sure and had a link. I know I should just call and should have called a long time ago but frankly those people scare me...I always feel like I will be in trouble...:( [/QUOTE]
