Can I use my sons dedicated account for a car?

Answered 5 years and 2 months ago by attorney Steven Neil Perrigo   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Social Security
The doctor's note should not be a big issue.  It generally needs to just say that the child has a disabling condition that requires frequent doctor visits and the car is needed for that transportation. If SSA denies it, you can appeal to another SSA representative.

may i try to work on disability without getting taken off of it?

Answered 12 years and 10 months ago by Michael J. Haller, Jr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Social Security
What does your doctor say?  Have you discussed this with her/him?  If the answer is yes, make sure the doctor tells you how much "part time work" to try, if any.  If the doctor advises against not working, you have your answer. Earnings may affect your benefits if you are receiving SSI benefits.  In addition, if the wages for your part time work rise to a certain level, SSA will count the month as a trial work period month.   You must report any work activity once you begin to your local social securityoffice.  Document your reporting and do it in writing if possible....

There are two types of disability benefits available from the Social Security Administration: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) (Title I2) - this is the one you have been told you are not eligible for.  If your disability began after your eligibility for these benefits are expired, you are out of luck. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) (Title 16) - you may be eligible for this disability benefit if you meet the "asset requirements." Contact or go to your local office to determine if you are eligible.  ... Read More

Hello, I am 48 years old and I have been on disability for 3 and a half years now because of a brain tumor.

Answered 13 years and 2 months ago by Penelope A. Boyd (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Social Security
Socials Security allows trial work periods to see if a recipient is able to re-enter the work force.  It also allows fora earning a certain amount of income while you are receiving benefits.  Small business loans might be difficult, but there are some grants for individuals with disabilities. My suggestion is that you contact your local Center for Independent living for resources.  You can find the listing for your nearest center online.  Good luck.  But be careful not to jeopardize your benefits....
