Q: I am in London. My mother is 80 and in California and not getting fair SSI. I would like someone to represent her .
She gets no income but social security are not taking this into account. She lives in her son's home and is being charged rent but they did not take the letter which was showing that. She is separated from her husband and they count his income.
Try additionally reposting this question in the Social Security section. It would have a better chance of being picked up there.

Q: I was given a RV to live in14 months ago and told to pay an amount for it when I could.now they say I'm in it illegaly
The trailer was going to be disposed of if I didn't take it and I've done major repairs to it to make it livable. Can they just take it back? It's my residence now, where do I stand with this.
Your position should be that you own that trailer now because you did what they asked you to do, made it your home, fixed it up, and now it is yours. This is one area in which possession is 9/10 of the law. You are in possession, so stay in possession.
