Re: Has anyone recieved SS disability benefits for their autistic child.. if so

March 2, 2010

Hi Crystal,

We received SSI for our son in the past. You need to be careful with your

income. We were eligible when we started and after about 2 years they gave us a

new case worker and we did not know we were suppose to submit my husbands pay

stubs monthly. Needless to say we are paying back over $6,000 at $10/month (I

figure we would have it paid off when I am 72). I could not find a lawyer at the

time to help us fight it because they deal with the disability benefits for

adults not children. Just be careful.

Hope this helps.

treatments and he is progressing very well, very well. sorry it was worth

repeating. OK ... so much is not covered by insurance and some extra help would

really make a difference

I think he might need a full autism dx, but you can apply if you think you

qualify based on income and assets.
