Hi Crystal, at some point SSA will want to review this case and you need produce medical records that back up your claim for disability.

SSI can only be used for food and shelter and, if anything is left over, medical expenses and education. It cannot be used to buy clothes and shoes. Unless there is a court order, it is not clear why your mother is giving you any cash.
SSI is not your money. It is US taxpayers' money used to benefit people who are not expected to be able to work at any job for at least 12 months and who have not paid into Social Security from previous work enough to be eligible for SSDI.
