This is not based on income but on the child's medical need. These waivers also can vary from state and the waiting list can vary. Here it is called the Beckett waiver. In Georgia, immediately got it. By the way this is actually Medicaid. You receive no money, but the Medicaid, at least here, get 6 prescriptions a month and it covers all of her medical care.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 glad to hear this. I go on Feb. 10 for my hearing. I have been shaking in my boots. Disability It is posssible! I had my hearing with the judge via video tv yesterday. After two denials and four years,he made a bench decision right there in my favor. He questioned me directly and let me tell him how my pain affects my daily life. I had a non-attorney representative that helped me out. She worked for the county as a disability specialist, and I found her through a friend. This definately made my new year! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
