[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 223181"] klmno, why did they say your son would not get SSI? Just curious, because I applied for SSI for difficult child and they have awarded him SSI, however, I make too much for him to get any funds and/or medicaid, but it is on recorded that he is awarded and has been determined to be disabled. Maybe it is because of the extremeness of my son and his multiple hospitalizations over the last year? I don't know. They did tell me that it will get reviewed every couple of years and that when he turns 18 that they will redo it with just him. I also have applied for the medical waiver (Katie Beckett here) and I have a home visit next week with the care coordinator for it, I have no idea what to expect other than she said she needs to verify that difficult child is a real person and she will explain the program to me. I really need help with his medical expenses. I have been taken to collections by so many that I haven't been able to pay. Next month I have to start making regular payments to the psychiatrist for his bill from when he was in psychiatric hospital (psychiatric hospital has already sent me to collections), I told them I can only commit to $50 per month at this point. It cost me $150 out of pocket for every visit for him to the psychiatrist and his sister goes too, so that is another $150 for her when she has appts. Anyway, good luck getting your difficult child on a waiver program. Christy [/QUOTE]
