Your brother has friends AND a drug dealer? Whoa.....
I have succsesfully gotten into a relationship first with a (indian/pakastani?) Psychiatrist and then after a period of 8 months living in an adult mental health group home started to recieve SSI. ( my psyche never even decided to label me with a diagnosis from his copy of the new dsm!! )
If you want your bro to BE disabled and cash out large, then get him hooked up with a social worker. One that wants to earn her pay and will drive him to and from the psyches office and a drug store to fill the scripts also.
Be sure to explain to the psyche and other mental health professionals that "you love yer brother, and want him to recieve the help he needs" Do a little research ( google and browse the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual ) and then prepare your brother on what to say he is experiencing to the psychiatrist AS hes in front of him. It is not that hard. I have recieved SSI cash benefits for 5 years now. A mental health professional coached me in her car before I went in to speak with the Dr that granted me SSI.............I am not scum........Everyone wins in a situation simular to mine, you included.
I recieve $686 from SSI. $200 in food stamps and somewheres around $500 from HUD a month!!! Thats $1386 a month. $16632 a year.
Tell yer fuckin bro its time to check outta being a no-money-bum and start his trek on the way to Easy Street USA
Psychiatrists are evil, their psuedoscience is fake, and mental health is the worst joke ever. But.................I hit up a psyche for a diagnosis and now I get paid.
The best way to get on ssi is to start seeing a psyche for scripts and then get into a mental health group home. The group home personal have 678% more power and sway than a normal person does. Thats alot.........quite alot.
