I'm in texas and am now recieving disabilty from social securtiy. I've been disabled for quite some time, however haven't been receiving benfits for longer than two months. I've never been able to hold a job longer than two months. (not cause i'm lazy but i have severe rheumatoid arthritis and have deformed fingers and wrists.) When i was 17 my father applied for disabilty for me but we fought alot and i moved out none the less nothing came of it. The initial date that i put as my beginning day of disability was before my 22 birthday and should have put me under my mothers disabilty being as she is now deceased. when i went the woman filing my form said i had to change the day on the form because i had worked for breif periods since that date. i now want to appeal the decision to go with my income and be put on my mothers claim. can i do this or am i pretty much screwed now.
p.s. my disabilty is evident and it is evident that it didn't happen in five months.

Jan, disability is given to under a parents income if that child is disabled before the age of 22, if the parent is over the age of 65 or received benfits and is now deceased. You should read the government handbook on ssdi. thats the reason for the question and if you can't hold a job for longer than a four months due to disability, that should be considered as well.

I am sorry to hear about your situation my friend...I was disabled in Dallas by my former supervisor, I require surgery, I was found MMI by an Insurance Co (J&I Specialties) paid Dr. I was turned down by DARS because I have transferrable skills...I am now in Kansas ( much improvement over Texas) attending school for an associate Degree...my second career...with the aid of Fed grants and student loans...I am still disabled but can get around much better than I did when I was found MMI by a quack ...I guess what I am trying to say is dude, I feel for you and good luck, even the SSA is crooked in Texas...

I don't understand what you mean by filing under your mother's claim,if she is deceased,she is no longer getting disability for you to claim under. You have to file under your own claim as you are not a minor. Disability is only given to a child of a disabled person until they are 18.The date you use for filing is the date that you became unable to work. You cannot file for a date previous to the time you were still working. They do not consider you disabled during that time if you were able to work. Disability is given under your earnings,not someone else's.
Your question is confusing,but if you are the one disabled you can only file under your own name and receive payment from your earnings.
