I'm just trying to help out my friend.. she got divorced last year, but still living together with her ex (I know it's weird). Her ex got his 2nd stroke last year (after divorce )and has not been able to work ever since. He can complete simple tasks such as eating, walking, carrying objects, driving, and following simple instructions, but he can no longer work like he used to. He is also having short term memory loss. She is currently supporting him for all his financial needs, but is really having a hard time financially....her current income is no longer enough to support her family. She was told that they are eligible for getting disability money but first he has to get a psych test. However, ex-husband is refusing to get a test saying that "there's nothing wrong with me". He can't even fill out a job application !!! any suggestions would be appreciated !!!

There are people that get disability for mental disorders, but the testing of any disability is required in order to get the benefit, consult a Social Security Disability lawyer and ask about this situation. If awarded disability for mental disorder, he would be evaluated to see if he can live on his own, if he cannot a Payee would have to named, this person would receive the check which would have both names and would be responsible for controlling his money, paying bills etc. (SSDBI)Social Security Disability Benefit Insurance is determined by first looking if he has enough quarters to qualify, this is earned during his working life time, also medical reasons for not working are looked at. A decision is made and you go from there if you are turned down and DO NOT BE SURPRISED if he is turned down, DO NOT GIVE UP

No. Unless she goes to court and gets him declared a "disabled person" (the old term "incompetent" isn't being used much any more). Then the court will appoint a guardian, which might be her. The guardian can do the claim then. This will be difficult since it doesn't sound like he will cooperate.
