[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 575996, member: 1514"] Good idea Susie. I didnt think the SW's would be there on weekends. I have an issue with Tony thinking that Buck can get SSI within a week or three. He thinks SSI takes no time while disability is the one that takes a long time. I have tried to tell him that they are one in the same. I could have gotten SSI in the beginning because I had absolutely no income. What they do, as most people know is to figure out if you have the medical diagnosis to even qualify for disability before they go to which program you fall under. Tony doesnt believe me. He knows a guy who got SSI in a month...or supposedly. Well maybe that guy actually applied longer ago or maybe he had a worse diagnosis or even something else none of us are aware of. There are certain qualifying disabilities that are shoe ins. Cancer where you are not expected to live longer than a year, extremely bad heart conditions where you are no longer able to work, things like that. Drug abuse and alcohol are not qualifiers anymore. His hip issues, diabetes, and blood pressure may possibly qualify him but its not going to be a shoe in. It will probably take him longer than a month though maybe the SW can pull strings to get him approved faster. Actually I would like it that way because he wouldnt get a lump sum. Buck and a lump sum would be bad for me because it would give him money to stick a trailer down here. I dont think he would fit in to an assisted living facility from what I have read. He wouldnt have the funding. He would need some sort of rest home which is a step down from a nursing home. He wont like that but oh well. I definitely need to get tough with the people at the hospital and tell them he simply cannot come back here because I cant take care of him in my condition. I did it when Tony's family wanted us to take on his father and I just knew we couldnt take him on. He was a quad and we had 3 small boys and I was going to school full time. I actually went and talked to SW's at a nursing home to make sure I wasnt being selfish and they agreed with me. I had to put my foot down then too. That time he listened to me without a fuss. I dont know why Tony seems to want Buck down here around him. He is the last person we need around.
