maize Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I think you should contact a disability lawyer. They typically work on a contingency basis--they are paid only if disability is awarded, and that pay comes out of retroactive benefits. http://www.disabilitysecrets.com/question16.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lecka Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 He is young enough you might be able to get "transition services" if he didn't graduate from high school. If he didn't graduate I think I would try to call and talk to someone at school. Also -- not knowing who in particular to call -- if you call anyplace like ARC, NAMI, anywhere like that in your state and just ask if they know who to contact locally. I would look into this in case they could help with SSI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linnet Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Thank you so much Lecka! They did manage to get him graduated in the school he went to, but I will look into those other resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 If there is a Disabilities Resource Center or Independent Living Resource Center in your area, they may have information on what types of support services he may be eligible for.
