Is it based on when they collect Social Security or when they become disable, how will they know?

Hello Stephen and Steve, I hope this finds you safe from the fires I’m a mom of a son newly diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder here in So Cal and was wondering if you would be willing to refer us to a disability lawyer, please? If not, I understand, but just thought I’d start with you since you are familiar with this vs googling at random Thank you

I was diagnosed at 18 and was gaslit by my therapists and doctors for almost 10 years not to apply for disability even though I haven't worked since my diagnosis I applied recently after I turned 26 since I am not eligible to be covered by my parents health insurance I thought I'd be taken care of by medicaid since I do not work, but they told me I need to be approved for disability to be eligible in the state of Florida I now been without my medication for a year because I'm waiting for my disability case to be approved I heard it can take up to 3 years to be applied so I have 2 years to go I'm scared for my future I have an extensive medical history, but since I'm not seeing any doctors without any insurance I am seriously praying it doesn't affect my case

video is very cringe
Comment from : @jasonj8246

Keep your child's records, like IEPs, medical, psychiatric, legal documents for when your child faces the switch from ssi to ssdi If your child has intellectual challenges get iq test results and keep them Thank you for this video, this is a confusing process and hard to get straight answers even when things are working correctly at ssa

Comment from : @justbarry587

does the 3 year recovery period include DAC and enable you to get back on DAC if you fall back?

Comment from : @BeckyKay-m7v

That's good news about your youtube channel You can definitely do it Stephen 😊
Comment from : @amyjones8613

Pardon my ignorance but if your not of sound mind as if you were ill, how could they except the signature? For ssdi i mean Is it because he was already diagnosed I am confused My daughter is autistic and not yet 18
Comment from : @amyjones8613

So grateful that you and your family are helping so many with sharing your journey with us
Comment from : @sheila4933

Working on this but my son who is 27 was just diagnosed in July and he's now refusing to go to the doctor and started refusing the Abilify a month ago I had an appointment for him to see a regular medical doctor today but he refused to go He's delusional again It's so frustrating I don't have the money to support him but he's holed up practically barricaded in a room in my house and I can't get him to do anything He barely eats, he's either angry or mute I am at my wit's end
Comment from : @uwsupergirl

Comment from : @shahida6883

Comment from : @eriklopez1

Hi guys-has Stephen had IHSS? In home supportive services? Mainly curious as we have had that for the last 5 years My son is on the severe/nonverbal side of autism I am super grateful for all that you and your dad are sharing Stephen! It is SO helpful for a billion reasons!
Comment from : @survivingitall5263

I'am so glad you are making progress unfortunately in the south government money spent on mental health is the least amount spent on health mental health is the last thing in their budget

Takk!
Comment from : @PederYoutube

I have Crohn' s disease and was forced to apply for disability at age 38 I had to resign from my job as an EMT due to multiple surgeries, hospitalizations, and my ongoing illness It was a really difficult decision, but I had no choice Navigating the system was really difficult as I had no one to help me through this really complex government program I made it through and was granted disability It seems as though the process is unnecessarily difficult Thanks for being so open and brave about your struggle with mental health! I wish you the best and may God bless you and your family!!!

Oh boy, your father is a little bit overbearing 😊

Comment from : @jeancardoza4442

Just for the record- now that Steven is receiving SSDI, he isn’t living off the government, he is receiving income that you ( his parents) earned and have paid in ☺️

Comment from : @provostg

Thank you both for this Our son was 17 at onset, he is 25 now Its a daily struggle I wish there were more resources out there For whatever reason, we are rolling onto year three waiting for SSI/SSDI We passed our last hurdle/psych interview last week I think California is probably the best state for support I think they are more integrated with support Social Security tells me they are still running behind on cases post Covid
Comment from : @marissaalonzo7997

My son was diagnosed at 25, but meets all of the other requirements He’s been on SSI and would rather be on SSDi
Comment from : @howardbostwick5167

Stephen and Steve - Thank you for this informative video It has been very helpful My name is Kevin and I have a son who is also 23 and also suffers from schizophrenia We currently live in Colorado but have a daughter in the LA area I often travel to the LA area for work and typically extend my stay to spend time with my daughter I would really like to meet you both, if you are open and available Best of luck to you, Stephen, with the YouTube channel
Comment from : @kevinsnyder6609

Thanks for sharing! It really help me to understand the system better ❤
Comment from : @normaramirez3504

This information helps my son and I so much We will apply Thank you
Comment from : @jkwjcw3ify

Thank you What a careful explanation I love the support system that you have I'm schizoaffective and was approved for SSDI on my first application, which is rare , or so I've heard Many many people with mental health issues have a very difficult time navigating the whole process and I think I just had some grace with help from professionals and my illness was obvious and well documented I'm sure those circumstances helped me to not have to appeal after my first application, but man, I'm telling ya, I know so many people would be better off if they had such love and support the way you do It was sweet when your Dad called you a genius and said he was so proud of you Keep it up 💪 I'm rooting for you to be a positive voice, and I'm glad you're doing well today🤗🫶

You don't rely on the government, but the state, which is all of us And I very gladly pay my part on the taxes so that people like you can benefit Those are some of the best money I ever give
Comment from : @gianfranco_maldetto_92

I am so happy for you and your family Steven you’re a Bless and you have a amazing person who has a beautiful heart and soul keep up the good work
Comment from : @jimsteele3423

Yeah SSDI is so much better I'm on SSI and the rules and restrictions are stressful This was a great video It should be helpful for many Edit: You are probably aware because your father is an attorney, but you can apply for an ABLE account so that you don't lose your medical while on SSI or waiting for Medicare to kick in Any money directly put in that account is not counted towards the asset limit Obviously look into this yourself and talk to someone qualified I'm just a random person on Youtube haha
Comment from : @ChaiLatte13

Thanks for the informative vid Similar analogies in the uk but differences of course I would recommend however that you don't put out more personal information than you need to Details of specific locations for example Just safer i suppose
