Question: Friend diagnosed with a mental discover and placed on SSI, Hydrocephalus found later SSI or SSD!?
He has been on SSI for some time!. I was just wondering if the shunted hydrocephalus made a difference as to the type of diability he should be on!? He has brain damage from the hydrocephalus also!. Should he go to social security and have it changed!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I can tell you the determining factor of SSD or SSI is one's work history!. If he worked and paid enough in then his highest quarter is taked to determine SSD!. If he did not have enough work in then SSI is what he ends up with!. As far as the actual disorder that don't determine whch he ends up on, that only determnes if he qualifies!. They both share a common requirement and it is the work requirement that is different between them!.
Hope this helps you !.!. !.!.
I know of some people where they end up on SSD based on father's highest earnings so he really should call!. I do think though, for that one must be born disabled and not become disabled!.(not sure)!.
