If she is still a minor, you can apply for her and collect the benefits to spend on her. If she is an adult, you can still help her apply, but SSA will decide who receives the benefits to pay for her needs. SSA will help you and your daughter get it all figured out.

It would be best for a Kentucky attorney to advise, but your post remains open for four weeks. As a general matter, bills unfortunately remain due. If you could consult with the attorney representing you, they should be able to offer guidance on what measures need to be taken. Good luck... View More

Apply for a lost title for the car. Then take the title with the vin number and your I’d to the dealership and have them make you a new key. Then go repossess or hire someone to repossess your car. Also make sure that you are not violating the dvo or any family court orders before you do so.

Social Security Disability cases are handled by contingency fee only, so you never have to worry about paying as you go. Fees are 25% of the back due disability award up to $6,000.00. If you are intent on finding an attorney that doesn't get paid at all, my best guess is that you can go to... View More

At 39 years of age you probably will have to go to the third step which is a hearing before a judge. You will need to show you cannot do easy sit down work by medical evidence.

Alternatively, you could stop work, file your claim and then return to work at your regular level; as long as it is for... View More
