Hi Melody,
Your father may not have had the work record needed to be eligible for SSDI on his own, but if he does it may be a good idea to contact the SSA and confirm if you're still eligible for disability benefits based off of his work record.
My wife and I was informed a year ago that our daughter has been diagnosed as being intellectual disabled. We was informed by the physician that we needed to apply for SSI for our daughter which is thirteen, which we have not done. We revisited her genetics doctors for further testing and just found out that she has a rare chromosome disorder called paternal 14. What do we need to do?
