SSI POSSIBLE?

cant speak for myself , but my ex mother in law and her husband and daughter are all on SSI , the mother is BP, father is BP and the daughter has major depressive disorder.

so yes it is possible

Don't be afraid to try.
My one therapist said, oh ho, you used the b ward ! (BP), that usually it doesn't work the first time, you need to appeal.
They have a pdoc interview you, he reads questions, you answer yes or no. No talking.
Questions like were you abused, neglected, molested, etc. And some numbers he repeated that you had to repeat back. I ws ver hesitant. Didn't even finish the test, you only get 1 hr.
Was a nervous wreck going in, but afterward felt so relieved.
It sure has helped. You get Medicare after 2 yrs. a plus for me, no other ins. Drug plan is not good at all.

I have already been denied plus i have IBS which make's everything worse. I don't know what to do cause i really can't work right now. I'm not sure if i could ever work. My therapist said i should get it with no problem but its not working out that way.

Thank you! :)

Can't believe you were turned down, thought you were BP, and that all BPs would get it. Must admit I was a basket case when I went for my pdoc interview. Got to the psych place, County Mental Health I think, an hour early, so worried I'd get lost. Only one other woman was waiting there, had 3 kids with her, real cute, and well behaved. She was unhappy about their wigglihg on the chairs, and without even putting her magazine down, she delivered a very hard blow with her knuckles to the chest of the oldest boy, like a karate blow. God, what a noise, I'm sure she damaged his sternum. He made a silent grimace that was heart wrenching. I was so disturbed I didn't know what to do, and was shaking. Then suddenly I was called in. It effected my speech, which was very awkward and halted, I could hardly think. Apparently it worked to my benefit.
I think you could appeal it.
Then again as Red said, a part time job works wonders for the self esteem I am 60, so my chances of getting hired are nil. No references, no experience. Disability doesn't pay alot either. At least not compared to the cost of meds. I get $600/mo. and requested a person my husband, be designated as a "guardian" of the money, further saying I am not very reliable. My friend who has a lot of work experience, gets $800.
But, wouldn't it be great if you found something you could continue working at. Part of your routine. A good job is therapeutic, helps you get your mind off yourself, as long as it is not too stressful. Good luck.
