debbs,
Try to see it from the other side-- Many of us politely and gently explained the policies and the difference between EA and ED, but to us (well, speaking for myself of course) the responses in posts #30, 41 and 43 *do* sound like you are trying to game the system-- to play the $$ game when it isnt permitted under ED. To those of us who have seen this happen year in and year out, these posts looked like another one of those, and it can evoke strong reaction.

Good luck to your son. And by the way-- Social Security almost always denies disability to applicants the first go round. It oftentimes takes one or 2 appeals to get it through. Your H shouldnt give up on that one, and when he does get it (and sounds like he should qualify, depending on the severity of his cognitive deficits) the $$ is retroactive to the day he first applied. Make sure he gets a good neuropsychological evaluation!
