Disability welfare

Last time I applied for disability I got refused as they said I have a good history of work postsz. My pdoc and family don’t want me on disability as they think I can get back to work and disability is bad for cv. I quit my last job in 2020. My parents told me they have enough money to support me. Also I can’t get on disability as I have money in the bank well over the limit allowed for disability but its frozen and I am getting interest. Also if I have access to money I have shopping addiction and I would spend it all in a week on useless stuff. Also I will inherit one big house and money from my parents and I can’t have those on disability.

My parents and brothers have several houses they rent for profit and they told me to not worry about money, they will keep helping me even after my parents die but I will try getting on disability again, maybe I will get accepted if I don’t work for more years.

Luckily we have free public health insurance in Canada, I pay 14$CA for 60 pills of risperidone a month. Drs are free too but not dentists.

If your family doesn’t mind taking care of you financially and you trust their word you have nothing to worry about.

My parents would hate it to have to support me financially but would do it if needed.

I prefer being on disability and paying myself for things.

You’re very lucky your family is both willing and able to help you.

Are you trying to get SSI or SSDI? I thought you could have as much money in the bank on SSDI. :honeybee::honeybee::honeybee:

I think I’ve read on this forum that there is no asset limit on SSDI.

But I’m in Europe so can’t be 100% sure.

What about part time work? That’s better than nothing. If I could work I would. I hate not being able to work. Hate it.

In the early years of being a psych patient I was still living with my parents . When I left school my father took half of my Invalidity benefit for my keep. That was the case all through the time I wasn’t living independently. When I did live independently he gave an allowance equal to £104 now every 3 months or so to help with clothing. That stopped after a short while.
