My father is 55 years old. College educated and is an operating engineer ( construction). He is diagonsed with prostate cancer, that has metasized to the bones and is terminally ill. He worked up until a month a go and could physically no longer walk ( he is now in the hospital) and finally gave in to not working anymore. We applied and met with a SS officer in NYC who helped with the paper work and helped us push everything through quite quickly. However, we just received a Dissaproved Claim saying that my parents are worth more than $3,000 for March 2005 on. They have money but it is all tied up in annuities that he can not touchh without being fined until his disablity is registered. So there is no money coming in to pay for a lot fo his medical expenses as well as monthly bills. No one told us that disability had anything to do with current illiquid assets. I thought that was just plain SSI. Any thoughts? Thank you.
