Court and ssi

Post Reply New Topic

Ok as of Friday i went to court and talked to a jude to get on ssi. She had all my papers that said i had adhd, aspergers and odd well as learning disorders. She found that I diddnt have gainful employment and that shwe would take it all into consideration i'm worried theres a loop hole or somthing that wouldnt get me on it so i was wondering is there anyway that she could still turn me down and why ?

I don't know, but I'm told it's common to be turned down the first time, so if that happens keep at it.

Yeah, a lot of people are turned down for normal disability payments when they haven't worked long enough. The normal SSI, you only have to be unable to get work thanks to a disability. Then they let you on for three, five, or seven years (after which they re-evaluate), so you have that long to take advantage of a considerable list of resources meant to get disabled people employed. When I got mine, I found it a great relief to not have to worry about feeding myself RIGHT NOW, so I could think about the future, and long-term employment.
