[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 720621, member: 13542"] You might give the SSI another go CB, I know here in CA. you may have to apply more than once, often there may be a rejection (so I've heard, I don't know firsthand) and I've been told you apply again...... and there is a wait, but if you're persistent, you may prevail. I was told it takes about a year. I believe your daughter has the necessary criteria as an adult to qualify. When I was looking at gaining Guardianship for my granddaughter I did quite a bit of research and found unique agencies which assisted grandparents in getting guardianship, they walked you thru the whole process, you did the paperwork, but they guided you thru it. Otherwise I would have had to pay an attorney. You might try researching agencies which assist with getting adults on SSI. I was surprised how much support there was out there. We live in CA. so we have some advantages in those areas.....give it a go. You might also try the People with Disabilities Foundation. And, NAMI will also be able to direct you to those agencies which can help your daughter get on SSI. Let us know what you find out. HUGS to you.... [/QUOTE]
