ssi in florida for erbs palsy
Posted: Sun Dec 01, 2013 9:33 pm
Does anyone know of a way i can get ssi for my son. We live in florida and they say that he is not disabled because it does not effect.more then one extremity. To me it is a disability, he did not sit up on his own until he was 7months old. He is 11months old and just started to.stand. He can not play with his toys properly, he uses his feet and smacks them around with his left arm. While he lifts his right arm (the injured arm) with his shoulder, and not very high. How can i get ssi for my son. How can they say its not a disability? He had surgery recently and may need another one. He still falls flat on his face and can not crawl. He does not pit pressure on his right arm at all. i have applied calling it brachial plexus and erbs palsy, nothing works for these people. I need the money to pay for medical expenses.
