My son is severely mentally disabled. Can I qualify him for some type of child mental disorder disability benefits?

SSI benefits are supplemental income benefits provided by social security. Children who are disabled can qualify for SSI benefits n certain circumstances. First, your family income and assets must fall below a certain level for your child to be eligible for SSI disability benefits. Generally, your child must also be living in your home; if he is living in a medical facility and health insurance pays for care, SSI benefits are limited to $30 per month. If these minimum qualifications are met, your child must also not earn more than $1,000 per month as of 2010) and his disability must be such that his activities are clearly limited and that the disability is going to last for more than twelve months. From the sound of your description, it seems as if you may be able to qualify for ssi disability benefits for children for your son. You should contact an experienced social security disability attorney who can help evaluate your claim and prepare your application to maximize the chances of your child receiving the benefits he is entitled to.
