[QUOTE="nvts, post: 352870, member: 3814"] Hey! My sister got approved about a year ago, and her atty. was only allowed to collect a maximum fee (in New York anyway) of something like $2500 bucks. She got over a years back pay as the award is based upon when you first filed for SSI. You are also lump sum awarded for the kids because they've been in your custody and were minors. difficult child would still benefit, but easy child would still be named in the back pay because he was still a minor when you applied. Find out the rules in your state before you engage an atty. It might not be that much. Rooting for you in NYC! Beth [/QUOTE]
