[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He will probably end up on Disability, which will give him money to pay bills.  [/quote]

This requires that OP's brother acknowledges he has a mental health condition, gets a diagnosis, is willing to apply for disability, and then gets approved. Right now it doesn't sound like any of that is the case. Unless he becomes a threat to himself or others, OP won't be able to compel him to do anything.[/quote]

He just has to allow for the process. There are plenty of people receiving disability who don't understand that they have a mental health condition that requires it. Getting a social worker involved will help give you and your parents an idea of where things may stand.

You can't get SSDI just by being lazy. PP is right - you need an actual diagnosis. If he has schizophrenia, extreme ADD, or something diagnosable, then you need a psychiatrist to document it, and even neuro-psych exam results. Then you have to prove he can't do any job at all, like washing dishes. Most SSDI applications are rejected at the initial stage and I think maybe only 1/3 ultimately get benefits.[/quote]
