Don't forget the ads the SSI administration runs in cities informing Parents that if they have a child a with one of 1,000 illnesses they may be eligible for SSI.
ADD is one. It's become the new Welfare system. No don't work, get Serina down at the SSI office to file a disability claim for you sista. Da man owe you anyhow!
Not only that, they can hawk the meds. Whatta rackett!
"ADD is one"
ADD is a shoe-in for benefits. My son was instructing a 40 year old student at a community college. He gets SSI for Adult attention deficit disorder and the government is sending him to college for a degree..........But yet SSA won't approve things like...an inoperable brain tumor the size of a lemon. This refers to a friend who I went broke supporting while waiting for SSA to approve. They sent him to a shrink. Remember that the lawyers and psychologists have taken over the SSA system as well as most social services.
