Actually 1day being eighteen doesn't matter one whit to the SS offices. If one has a mental illness where THEIR doctors asses one to be unfit to manage money then a requirement of receiving the assistance is to designate a payee. I do not know the details of Bama's case but would guess when she first received it that her mother was the 'default' payee and that there were not other options at that time.

Yes, this is correct. They sent me to two doctors (of their own)... One was for mental and one was for physical. They said that because of the report they received from the doctor who evaluated my mental status, the board found it was in my best interest someone else be over my money. My mother was placed as primary payee, so without her I pretty much get nothing, sadly.

NAMI, you said was the name? I'll look into that and see what I can find. Seems worth the shot of trying.

1day, thank you. Please don't think of your misunderstanding as something bad on you. (((huggz))) We all make mistakes sometimes, chin up!
