Eating Disorders; PKU, etc.

If you want to describe your situation and ask if you might have a disability claim, scroll to the bottom of this screen until you see a box, and tell us about yourself there.

Most people don't notice the following, so I am going to start making it in larger and larger type until most people start following the suggestions. If you are the sort of person who reads instructions, I apologize:
If you want a high quality answer, please be sure to include these facts about yourself:
1. Age.
2. Grade you finished in school.
3. The sort of work you have done.
4. What your diagnoses are; that is, what problems the doctor says you have.
5. What limitations you have because of your problems. This means what you cannot do at work because of your problems. Problems standing, sitting, using your hands, concentrating should be mentioned, as well as any problems attending work because of any psychological condition.
6. Your city and state.
7. Any other information that you believe is relevant.
8. Your specific question.

The problem is that he has to eat special food that is not financially provided by state or insurance companies. I can not get him insurance coverage, and can barely afford his food. ( food is 5 times as much as ours. literally) Doctors have said several times that this is impossible to live without this food coverage. I have tried everything. Medicaid and CRS covers formula. Without lo-protien foods he has to eat ours and there is no way he can survive with the amount of phe ( the piece of protein his body can not break down) in it. I do know of a person that has recived disibility but he is from another state.

There is a chance that you would get it. There is an argument that you should get it because you need so much help feeding him. You should hire an attorney, or get legal aid to help you. You will not qualify if your income is too high, but since you are getting Medicaid it probably isn't. Now, to help me: I have a similar case, that is on appeal right now. I need to get examples of other people who are able to get Medicaid because of this sort of problem. I need to prove that someone is. That would be you and your friend. Can I get some sort of official documentation? Did a lawyer represent you, or your friend? Is there a caseworker that I can talk to for either of you? Now to help you: If you will email me back something helpful, I will send you a brief I just wrote on a similar subject. Don't try to just use this yourself! Get a lawyer or legal aid and show it to that person. Take care and good luck.   Anonymous   Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)ipdbrute2 crack full Posted on Wednesday, August 24, 2005 - 5:12 pm:        I am trying to get 2 small boys that have pku that live with me get ssi. they are 2 1/2 and 10 months.

I applied for SSI in June of 2005 and just recently got a reply saying that my son may be disabled but not seriously enough for disability. It is a rediculous process, but if you keep nagging and keep pushing appeals it might work. My name is Alicia, I am looking for funding to start up a charity strickly for South Carolina residents or families with a PKU person or child. My email is arcreel@yahoo.com, please email me with your concerns.   Vicki Leeds (Unregistered Guest) Unregistered guest Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)ipdbrute2 crack full Posted on Wednesday, March 15, 2006 - 8:11 pm:        My daughter is 2yrs old and I have wondered if it was possible to get her on disability because the low protein foods are out of sight. SSA told me that it wasn't a disability. I just do not see why not. Worried in Oklahoma mommiealliecat@yahoo.com to reach me....   Paul McChesney (Admin) Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 1147 Registered: 5-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)ipdbrute2 crack full Posted on Sunday, March 19, 2006 - 9:12 pm:        I asume she has a PKU disorder or something similar. Sometimes an award is a possibility in such cases. The whole process of testing and eating is so complex that it takes two people to do what a normal kid can do on his own.
