A side note, but I wanted to mention it. Is your son on SSI? It’s been very helpful for our disabled adult son. NOTE - if he is on SSI before he turns 22, it will mean he can get increased monthly benefits once once of his parents begins collecting Social Security. Our son’s monthly benefit will go up about 66% in March, when his dad turns 70 and begins collecting.

It’s still possible for this to happen if a person is not on SSI by 22 but was classified as disabled sooner, but it’s a tougher process.
