Re: off topic SSI benefits (Negative side??)

April 8, 2008

Is there a negative side to receiving the benefits? For instance, as a parent,

if we apply and

are granted benefits and our child improves with his/her therapy and as able to

go into the

work force as a young adult, is there a negative impact that the past benefits

could have

on them as an adult or young adult? Has anyone gotten into this age group and

experienced or heard of any negatives associated with it?

We are one of the families that went down an income too. I quit work, but it was

more

because my grandmother could no longer care for him, he got his dx, we needed to

transport him to his summer ESY and then along came more programs for

transportation,

etc. and now even with him in kindergarten, I still can't return to work full

time (my

husband is in retail).

Thanks for all of your time and ALL OF THE CLONIDINE responses! I've appreciated

all of

them and quite relieved after reading them! We haven't started it because my

little man is

sick right now so we're behind schedule.

Hmmm we are not married but live

together as a

family. Together we make
