[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she misses so much school because of her illness, how is she going to work with her chronic condition? You need to consider whether she will be able to work at all, or whether she will need to start collecting SSDI as an adult. If she is unable to work because of a condition that started in her childhood, she can draw against your SSI contributions as an adult. You need to begin documenting this now, though, and you probably need to talk to a Social Security attorney. [/quote] We cant know that she will be able to work, but we can only move forward. We know the deal with SSI already, we aren't ignorant to that possibility. She's on some pretty hard core drugs that if we can get juggled correctly, might make her number of days in the hospital fewer. Just no telling really. We are cautiously optimistic. We do know from the area organization for this illness that plenty of adults are able to work. [/quote]
