[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 724846, member: 1967"] I am surprised to hear that addiction is a qualifier for SSI. When I talked to an attorney that specialized in helping people get SSI, he said my daughter's addiction would keep her from qualifying. He said that even if she had a mental illness, once they found out she was an addict, they would automatically deny her claim since they wouldn't be able to tell if it was the mental illness or addiction that kept her from being able to hold down a job. It turned out that she could function just fine once she got sober so I guess in her case they were right. I hope it all works out for your son. I have heard that most people are turned down the first time and that you have to be persistent. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
