living a life that is so foreign to those who have no concept of what you have to deal with must be difficult enough as it is, hope things continue to work out for you in the future.

so you got a lawyer to help argue you're so mental you need money for a car etc?

no offence, but everything about this concept is hard to comprehend. how do things work over there?

are you serious or are you just being intentionally condescending?

why have you taken it as condescending?

my question is why must you pay for a lawyer to get care. what if you don't have that money? does the government/social security leave you to rot unless you can do this?

you don't pay for the lawyer up-front. they work for you on contingency.

they get paid a reasonable amount of your back-pay & the government

doesn't exactly leave you to rot it's just that lawyers experienced in this

kind of litigation know the catch-phrases that evaluators are looking for

and are better able to represent you than you are alone. it is very hard

to get social security. almost everyone is turned down the first few times.

...hm

i saw what you said in the thread about me on theo's forum and i would

like you to know that the reason i am getting this while i'm living with my

parents is that there were times when i was homeless and couldn't sleep

indoors or feed myself and they are helping me only to the extent that i

promise to work towards independence. i don't think your comment was

informed by the facts of the situation so i am sharing this information here.
