Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 So glad you're getting this help, Kate! Happy New Year, huh? :-) in WY " You get a wonderful view from the point of no return... " http://www.flickr.com/photos/liadains_fancies http://practical-blackwork.blogspot.com http://practicalblackwork.com disability Well all, It looks like my disability has been approved, and I didn't even have to appeal! yah! Now for the confusing news...that a payee be designated. I have been deemed unfit for managing my own money, so they sent a form that my spouse, or another family member needs to fill out. In the form they also ask who takes care of the 'claimant' when spouse/payee person is at work or not around...??? I need to speak to my case manager, who I have from when I was at a continuing day treatment program for my depression. She has helped me with the whole application for disability process, and perhaps she can shed some light as to how to fill out this form. I'm curious to see if and how much retroactive pay I'll receive. From what I understand, my kids are eligible also for a small monthly stipend. I need to make a call to arrange that. I think I'm going to get about $725 a month in disability. That should really help out for so many things--taxes, copays, etc. Oh, that was another stipulation, that payee designee (if that's what you call it) needs to spell out what the money will be used for...I know the disability being granted is good news, I just wish there wasn't this whole payee thing. Does anyone else deal with this? love to you each and all, Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
