Does the USA have organisations who can be advocating for you? Here there is an organisation who does that for free, and lots of people with a disability here do make use of them, because the rules and legislations around disability support, and other ways of support are so complicated that hardly any one gets through without that help in one go.

Don't know where you would be able to find out if there is something like that in the US, maybe other members know. Or that lady who should be helping you to learn to live on your own may know, or she may be of help to you in the appeal.

Further, a resume may help. Write down what you did when. How did you take care of yourself when you were in school. What are the things you can do, and how many of these things can you do combined. And, point out where your problems are.

Being able to go to school is one thing. Being able to cook another. But, being able to do both, does not mean that you can manage going to school, and afterwards cook for yourself on the same day too.
So, make an inventory for yourself where your problems are, also when tasks come together.

Hope you can get some support of that lady. I now realise November 15 is really soon. Getting support from an agency at such short notice will be hard.



Wishing you luck.

My friend (who is my former foster mother) is telling me to act all crazy and retarded. I don't think I want to put on an act.

My transitional living case manager is gonna take me to the hearing and be my representative.

I will take all medications I am taking to the hearing and I'm gonna try to review the case files before the hearing starts.

No you don't want to do that. If they find out you faked it, you can get charged for fraud and end up having to pay it all back and imagine how much debt you'd be in? I don't know if you'd go to jail for it too. I wouldn't do it.

As Hyke suggested - find your most local advocate group - likely the ASAN, and ask them for assistance.

Your case worker will be an asset.  She'll probably bring records that you won't think to bring. 

Act as you always do.  The Social Security people, while not professionals in human behavior, can probably spot an act from 10 feet away.   Besides I'm not sure that personal actions at a hearing have much, if any weight.  It's the documents and reports from outsiders that they use in determining your case.

Good luck.

Oh quit being a fucking pussy. they usually are pretty good at finding out if you can work or not, so if they deny you again go get a fuckin' job. If they ever kick me off disability i'll hardly be making a big deal out of it to a bunch of strangers i dont even know online

good luck!
