[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 738450, member: 1550"] The thing is, if you are on SSI, you can work but can only earn say $1000 a month. You can still keep your disability. My son has it. He is on the autism spectrum with a normal IQ amd is 24. He got it at 18 due to school professionals and a ten hour neuropsychological evaluation. He has always worked. I believe it is more about if you are unable to work to make a sustainable income than if you can work at all. My son is a good worker and smart but working too much overwhelms him due to the autism and sensoey issues. He has never not worked at all. We never neefed a lawyer but sicial security is NOT the place to apply. We went to Aging and Disabilities. Social Security cant make this decision. Its a mistake many make. The State Disability office made the decision and he had lots of support. Sometimes he makes too much to get a full disability check. It is month to month. He does have Medicare and a great cheap place to live where he cares for his own needs. It is frim the Housing Authirity and he knows most people in his building. It is for adults with debelopmental delays and it rocks [/QUOTE]
