I have physical and legal custody of my neice. My sister receive disability due to her mental illness and I wanted to know if I would be able to collect disability for my neice? I have had her since she was 6months old.

Hi Heather,
Hi Heather,
It's possible, though it may be tough. Just make sure you have as much medical evidence of your son's condition as possible.

Hi There,
Hi There,
First, you'll have to make sure your son meets the Blue Book listing for the condition that he is experiencing. You should review the listing with his doctor to make sure he can medically qualify. If your son is under 18, then he'll need to apply for SSI. To qualify for SSI, not only will he need to meet the Blue Book listing, but your household income will need to be within the SSA's income limits.
