Can I receive assistance with getting my son's benefits for disability merely until the disability corrects itself?

If by "receive assistance" you mean "have legal representation," which would then change your question to "Can I have legal representation with getting my son's disability merely until the disability corrects itself?", the answer is yes you can have an attorney help you. If disability benefits are awarded you would not need the attorney's assistance any longer. If you mean something else by "receive assistance" such as Medicaid, food stamps or similar type of program or benefits I cannot answer your question without a lot more information. I cannot answer whether your son is "disabled" as defined by the Social Security Administration entitling him to benefits as you do not indicate what his "disability" is. Assuming your son is "disabled" then the question is whether you have too many "assets" that prevent your son from collecting benefits, The Social Security Administration permit people have to some assets that do not count against them when determining if someone is eligible for Supplemental Security Income benefits. After taking out those things that Social Security does not count, individuals can have $2,000.00 in assets and married couples can have $3,000.00. You do not indicate whether you are single or married. You indicate you have 2 vehicles. Social Security will not count one of the vehicles. If the value of the second vehicle plus any other assets you have are over $2,000.00 if you are a single parent, then your son would not be entitled to benefits. I would suggest you talk to a Social Security Disability attorney about your son's case. He or she can review your assets as well as your son's disability and give you a more definitive answer as to whether your son should be entitled to benefits.

Yes.

Social security benefits are commonly denied. File again and specifically ask them what you must do to get benefits.

Apply for SSDI for your handicapped child not Medicaid.

You are in a "spend-down" situation. The KBB value for an F150 is $3,000. Sell it and use the proceeds to pay the therapist.

You either do or do not qualify. The rules are clear.

It's sad, but if you love your son, sell the pickup. A good clean pickup is always easy to sell, especially in the fall. Gathering wood is a tradition in Montana.

You should consult with a lawyer who handles Social Security Disability Benefit cases for specific legal advice and assistance.

Start over and file again.
