Yesterday, we received a call from Senator Dodd’s office that our son’s Social Security appeal had gone through and he was approved for disability benefits! This is a HUGE milestone, and we will never be able to thank Senator Dodd’s office enough for their invaluable support and assistance in getting that accomplished! If it weren’t for them, our son would not have gotten his approval so quickly. This is a miracle!
Now that this approval had gone through, I immediately call the Supervisor of Eligibility Services at DSS to alert them of this fact. This would then expedite the process of our son getting Title19 benefits. He needs both benefits in order to go to an assisted living facility. After talking with the Supervisor, I knew that the ball was indeed rolling in our favor at last!
Since yesterday was my birthday, I have to say that this was the most fabulous birthday gift I could have ever received! I almost got sick from the excitement of it all!
So it has happened, and I am completely humbled by the assistance of so many kind people — people who have gone way above and beyond their normal duties to help us get these benefits in place. I think I will be able to sleep through the night tonight, which I haven’t been able to do in a very, very long time!
