Denise, I know how you feel. My daughter is 13 & still has plenty of ADHD moments. Just tonight she was making some kind of loud, indescribable noise over & over.....laughing in between each one. After about 25 times I finally told her to knock it off & she did...after another 10 times! I hope you don't get denied the SS.

;D Boy it is so good to know that there are more people out there dealing with what I have to deal with. I am in the beginning process for the SSD - I believe my denial letter is coming for the 1st time next week. SO I take it my next step is to file again. Something in my house has to change or my husband and I are going to be in the nut house our selves. My daughther has a severe case of ADHD and she drives us nuts and I know it is all not her fault.... but sometimes it makes me want to pull my hair out Good luck!

I basically gave up for I did call an attorney and was told our income is the factor. So if I did not work or my hubby we may get help then you know people who milk the system and get everything and the people who need it do not get it. I know of some of my cases where the parents live off the SSI of their kids and do not work to me that is wrong using the money to help pay for things is one thing but to live off it is not.

I gave up too Jill. The decision is very cut and dry to whether or not you qualify. The only things they take into consideration is your household income and how many people live in your home. It does not make a difference how much you put out in co-pays, medical bills that are not covered by insurance, medications, etc. If you make a certain amount of money that's it-you cant receive SSI.

Although they did tell me "we are not saying she does not have a disability" and I was also told when they turn 18 they have to re-prove disability so it was all for what? I do have a problem with people milking the system living off kids SSI and not contributing and us working parents get screwed so to speak and yes they are out there.
