[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 271172, member: 3907"] Star, I don't know if this is the case where you are, but the local equivalent of SSI in my neck of the woods has an unwritten policy that they decline the first request for benefits for just about everybody. That way they weed out those who are unable or unwilling to jump through the hoops required to actually get benefits. When difficult child's first application was rejected, husband aimed the full force of his intellect and vocabulary at them (a very scary prospect for any bureaucrat on the receiving end), and sorted it out. difficult child now receives the highest possible benefit amount, plus health coverage, drug and dental plan, and a transportation allowance. I think it's a good idea that you go with him and fight with him and for him. This is one of those times when having a Warrior Mom standing beside you is all to the good. The process is hostile to anyone. If you have any sort of distorted thinking or other troubles, it's dang-near impossible to get through. Do you have an pile of paperwork kicking around that would create an impressive thud when hitting the top of someone's desk? If so, I'd take it along with you. Documentation, and LOTS of it, will sometimes help you win the day. Know that I'm at your back, propping you and Dude up and giving you all the strength I can muster, to help you fight and win this battle. Saying many prayers. Trinity [/QUOTE]
