My sons father was in an accident a year ago that left him severely brain damaged. He was just approved for disability benefits with his mother as his representative payee. I applied for benefits for my son and we have an office appointment in July. The fathers mother received a letter telling her we had applied for benefits and she called to let me know that she contacted SSA to contest my sons eligibility because she doesn't think her son is my sons father. Can she do this and will my son be denied because of this? What will I need to do?
Also, Do I need to have papers drawn up giving me sole custody and decision making authority since his father is unable to fulfill his role?
His father is on his birth certificate and we were never married.
