My son's was administered by the school psychologist in February, 2010 and I

applied for him in May, 2010, he was approved in June, 2010. They will accept

the paperwork from the school, in fact I gave them his whole IEP packet for his

files at SS.

To apply for SSI for someone 18 years old or older, SSI prefers the WAIS IQ test

- done during the developmental years of 17 - 22.   The WISC IQ test is the

children's test and, at 18, we are applying for adult benefits - so we would

need the WAIS test.
