So as of a month ago I already ****ed my SSI if I'm reviewed. Even with training I doubt they'll certify me to work. Even there Drs.

I didn't say you were out SSI if you were reviewed. I just said you had to report the courses and they'd consider that and I think you should talk to social security so you are prepared. There is no rule that you can't take classes but they do consider it as something you can do. You have a complicated situation and that's always a consideration for them.

I don't want to trigger a review.

I don't think you'll trigger a review but you'll have one come up eventually. Mine said I was reviewed 2 years ago. I have no memory of that but I'm sure their computers are smarter than my brain. I thought it had been more like 3-5 years. But somewhere between 18 months (that won't be you) to 7 years (probably also won't be you) you'll have a review pop up. So being prepared is good. Social security may be able to tell you when you are due for a review. I read that they could when I was freaking out the other night because I think I didn't fill my form out right.

Usually my review is every 7 years. I just had a review 20 months ago because I moved states. They're currently reviewing my stuff to add my husband. I have not been asked for any information other than what they have. My therapist notes and pdoc notes say I'm in training. But they also say I'm psychotic, having trouble with daily living skills and not sleeping while doing a med change.

I can't cut the potato or dress it up. I can do frozen vegetables. Maybe they have pre cut potatoes as frozen vegetables. The problem is we only get so much on EBT and it's not enough for my needs. With the SDit we would have gotten more EBT and more housing assistance but I don't have the SDit anymore.

I understand you guys are saying there should be better services but reality is there is not. I loose much more than $1,300 a month if I do this. I loose my disability status. Which is not easy to get back. Unfortunately I have to risk it to pay for my disability. No one is going to hand me more money.

Weren't you having psychotic thoughts while taking care of a toddler less than a month ago? Unless I'm mistaken & that was someone else? I'd say no, you are NOT in a stable place yet & it's crazy to start down a road that can disrupt and/or lose you benefits and stress you out. I'd say your care team is absolutely correct in their assumptions that you need to relax right now, get in a good, stable place mentally before starting down a stressful, life-altering path and making these decisions.

I never said i was stable. I'm still psychotic, not keeping my meds down, not sleeping, changing meds. But that doesn't stop me from talking classes 4 hours a day.

Are you on disability for your physical disability as well?

So I'm done. We are looking at a housing loan for accessibility that goes off my SSI payment. I don't care if it's in this state. My sister has a dentist that will work with her instead of just pulling teeth. If I can find a place in that state I'll drive there.

You really need to be stable to be making these life changing decisions. Just impulsively deciding this or that hasn’t worked for you or your family. You’ve moved a number of times and each time it seems worse. You say this is the best state yet compared to your past posts you were better off before you moved.

We've never impulsively moved.

Social services are non existent. No government help. Vocational rehab way worse than all of us have in our states. Overall the area you described is awful. Assistance you are receiving is minimal. Can’t even get dentures when people in other states get that covered. I am sure there are worse places but the place you are at sounds horrible. I don’t know how you can say it’s a good place when you consistently described it as a he$$ on Earth |
