You'll need to contact an attorney to do a Power of Attorney. They will need to prove to the court that he is not capable of taking care of himself. Of course, if you're the ex, it's highly unlikely that you would receive the power of attorney. It almost always goes to either a spouse or a close family member.

EDIT: You don't need an attorney that specializes in ss litigation. This is a relatively simple procedure, and any attorney that does wills and health care proxies (most do, or at least can) can handle this for you.

Your could call an ss lawyer and ask them.

If he is in hospital, he is being fed clothed and cared for. What would he want benefits for?

He can do that himself, go get the papers have him fill them out and send them in.or if he needs a power of attorney, you fill out the papers and send them in.There should be a place on them about where he lives or who he lives with.

Wow. Is the hospital's social worker asleep on the job? Most Hospitals desire, no, require! patients with no income or insurance to get SS bennies. Part of getting paid...

He or an advocate can apply for SS Disability benefits online:

Is he probably on it already? If he has been in the hospital for 4 years.

haha you dated a retard

his social worker there should help him out. It is surprising he has stayed there so long. Most long-term mental hospitals are closed now. I would think they would place him in a group home if he needs monitoring.
