Call your social service caseworker or a doctor....They should be able to help with that...That's all you need to do. It really shouldn't be a problem for them or you to get the copy from the caseworker. If they are disabled and you're buying the house, and you know that they are going to be living with you til they are 19-20, shouldn't be trouble really. It doesn't make sense for the financial group to ask of that unless you're trying to use their income as part of your household income. Good Luck!

Call social security and ask if they can issue your a letter stating when your kids are scheduled for a MEDICAL REDETERMINATION.
Unfortunately, since reviews are generally done at age 18, the next review is likely due sooner than 3 years from now.
Also, the standard for disability as an adult is more strict than as a kid, so you aren't guaranteed that they will be continued upon review.
Of course, if they cease the disability, and you file an appeal WITHIN TEN DAYS of the date on the denial/cessation letter, you can generally get what is called "payment continuation" until the appeal is decided. Of course, if the appeal is decided as an upholding of the denial, you are generally expected to pay the money back.
In case that comes up , remember that the first appeal is called a hearing, but it is still made by your state agency. If that fails, you may file again and get a Hearing by Administrative Law Judge, which is a Federal hearing.
Of course, in some states they are getting rid of the middle/second appeal and going straight to a judge, as part of a new reform.

think you´ll find that you can only get a letter stating a year at a time, of course they will only receive ssi if their condition doesn´t change, a letter from their doctor or goverment/welfare officer stating the conditional circumstances should be sufficient, if not then try and find another lender I´m there are many to choose from! or if you have any other family that would consider being a guarrentor to help you financialy if the worst should happen they may accept that.

Congratulations on the opportunity to buy a house!
To get a Proof of Income letter from SSA go to:

A letter from a physician stating that your children are not expected to be able to achieve gainful employment when they turn 18 may also be helpful if this is the case.
Is the plan that your children will continue to live with you after they turn 18? If true, write a statement describing how they plan to stay and that upon their 18th birthdays you expect them to pay you for their room and board.
Are they disabled enough that they are unable to manage their own funds? If so, you will likely continue to be their Representative Payee upon their 18th birthdays. You might include that in your statement. If they'll be managing their own funds, include a statement from them that describes how long they intend to rent from you.
I hope this is helpful!
