[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 662131, member: 4152"] Our daughter received SSI upon application. Approved right away. I think this was because she had well over ten years of consistent and detailed records of mental health issues. She also had good records involving her brain Surgery. Both her psychiatrist and psychologist wrote letters of support for her disability. I believe Within one of them, was a comment that one or both of her parents would need to manage her disability payments since she had great difficulty managing money. I suspect her application and supporting documentation was one of the biggest files they had seen in a long time. One for the books. I'm not sure, but I think when social security had her examined by one of their own doctors, the question may have come up. She freely admits she needs help in this area. So, when she was approved, it was basically automatic. If he is currently seeing a psychiatrist or at least goes back to one he has seen regularly in the last and this person writes a letter saying that he or she believes your son should have a designated payee, I believe that will help immensely. Combined with your son agreeing...I'm sure it would be granted. Horrible that you have to go through this when your son already agreed before. We don't do a sig. amount for our Difficult Child, but being the payee ensures a roof over her head vs. homelessness. We also keep a watchful eye over her medications and put them in containers for her every two weeks. We helped her fill out the paperwork for food stamps, but she, on her own has answered any questions they have had along the way. About once a month, we go with her to the food store and help her make better choices. At least with a roof over her head, she has a kitchen to cook, etc. and some calm allowing her to take her medications and sleep each night. She has the basics, and this is very important. [/QUOTE]
