[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can go online and file for him.  Then help him with the paperwork and just take him or have you parents take him to the doctor's appointments.  I did it for a family member.  It can take years to get disability so do it now.  Then, you apply for low income housing.[/quote]

I tried this for over a year. He refused. He will not go to any appointment or allow anyone to visit and get the process started.  I appreciate how bizarre and unthinkable that is but there is no way to get him out the door to an appointment and if he won't show up they won't just start cutting checks.

I don't think he'd even cash the checks. He's a conservative too and believes he's a self-made wealthy guy who just needs the right lawyer to get his assets back and that the government would charge him with fraud if he "pretended" to be poor. But he has nothing. Not even a credit card. My mother gave him a gas card and keeps a small bank account for him in her name.

Ok I'm making myself too upset. Lord. It's been like watching someone die for years. Or the walking dead.   [/quote]

Ok, so you aren't willing to help or get it.  HE IS MENTALLY ILL.  He is not capable of doing this himself.  I flew cross country to do the online paperwork for my relative.  You can go online and do it.  They schedule the doctor appointment and you just need to take him.  You have the money deposited in an account and you or your parents become representative payee and manage the money for him.  He doesn't need to know about the money.  You just need to get him to one doctors appt.  You do the application online and just need to send in a few documents like birth certificate, SS card, etc.  He cannot do this himself.  No one is visiting.  Step up and help him or stop complaining about what will happen.  He will become homeless and live on the streets or in a homeless shelter if you do not help him get on disability and low income housing.  If he says that stuff to the evaluator, its obvious he has a problem.[/quote]
