What is the name of your state? Kentucky
My son has been under the care of Mental health professionals for about 5 years (he's 9) and has been hospitalized twice. He had a couple of partial diagnoses for Bi-polar and mood disorders, etc. and now has finally been done so correctly. His official diagnosis?s are Asperger's, Oppositional Deviate Disorder, ADD, ADHD, Obsessive Compulsive traits.
Here's my question, can we receive SSI/Disability for him. I am not so much concerned with getting him a check as knowing he will have Medicaid no matter what our income is. He is currently on Medicaid but we are within about $30 of not qualifying which would actually cost us about $800 a month based on the increase in premiums (just for him), copays for Drs, therapists and medication based on current copay amounts with our (the parent's) coverage.
I called a couple of SSI attorney's here in Louisville and they will not even talk with me once they find out it is for a 9 year old. I was blatantly told that there isn't enough money involved with a child's case to bother with. But not only would they not help, they wouldn't even help answer ANY of the questions I raised here.
Anyone with help is greatly appreciated.What is the name of your state?
