My onset date of disability is May of 2003. I was informed from one of the employees at the local social security office that I will be receiving a substantial amount of money. The supervisor told me that "they have to make sure they dot all the i's and t's before they release the money. I have received my first social security check in February, and am wondering why I keep getting the run around! Also, why would they pay more attorney his 25%before paying my past due benefits.

My son is seven and his Dad has been M.I.A for 6 and a half years. Last year he started receiving disability benefits thank god. I think his other children are getting a lot more, because their mom don't have to work. I work full time and have trouble just keeping enough food in the house even with the benefits he gets (about 450 a month). Part of the problem is I am putting my son through private school which costs about 500 a month, not including the babysiter I pay 150 a month to to keep my job. I don't want to put him back into public school because they don't have enrichment in my district, and he was getting in fights. My family has spent 1000's of dollars to help us just get by, but they can't do much any more because they are retiring. Hi I am wondering if my son is entitled to any additional benefits?
