Is getting a college degree proof that you can work and can they take away your SSI? My doctors know I am still ill and I am on meds. I just want to be able to go to school to do something for myself.
Also, if I loose SSI, do I have to pay back all that I have gotten over the years?

I am interested in knowing the answer to your question as well. I am on disability and am not able to work full time due to depression and anxiety, i will not be able to deal with the pressure of getting things done, multi-tasking, dealing with people if i have to deal with the public and worrying about making mistakes alot which i did on my last job. But i have wanted to take a class or two just to be able to learn something and try to keep myself stimulated, I think it would be good for me but i'm also worried they will say you can go to work if you take classes. I feel the two are completely different. Hope we both can get some answers.
