And basically demands that I go back to school. He’s fine with me applying for SSI, because he understands my mental illnesses disable me but just can’t understand I cant go to school. Whatever. I am willing to try.
So I was wondering if it was possible to take a class or two and apply for SSI? If I could I would only take an art class or two. I would get accommodation recommendation and such from my psychiatrist. I mean… taking an art class is nothing like working full or even part time right? But who knows how SSA thinks! (But honestly like I said I can barely take care of myself so I don’t even know if I’d be able to go to school  I just want to make my dad happy)
Anyways, has anyone tried it? Or know of anyone who’s tried it? I did google it and google had pretty mixed answers and it just made me more confused tbh!

the Social security website says college students can not receive SSI, the reasons why they can not is because colleges have scholarships and financial aid grants that can help students. and if someone is well enough to attend college classes they are well enough to work.
