Please share your experiences either way.

I am on SSI due to my mental illnesses. I received the positive Social Security determination and at that same time as appointed a Representative Payee due to the impulsiveness that can accompany the illness.

I am attempting to become my own Representative Payee but have anxieties that Social Security will want to end my benefits because I think I can handle my own money. That fear is from my own imagination for the most part.

What is your experience?
