Question

does a child thats legally blind in one eye qualify for ssi????in it considered a disability?

Answer 1

i think so,ya....

my little cousin is also legally blind in one eye but she handles it well.i think she`s 3 or 4.i dont see her much so i dont know exactly how old.

Answer 2

Yes it does qualify if you get proper documentation

Answer 3

um depends if he acts the same r not.  but anyways if your child was to be disabled you know the government would give you money or reduce ur taxes or something like that.

Answer 4

I am not 100% sure if that qualifies, but my hunch is yes...i have been receiving SSI since I was 18....NEVER as a child....according to government parents made too much money even though barely could pay bills....so just be aware of that...government has very strict rules on who qualify....if the household makes a certain amount...it doesn't matter you won't see a cent....until h e does when he turns 18...and if he lives with you it will still be very little.

BTW...i have Spina Bifida.

Answer 7

If it really hinders him. I mean, he might not be able to drive as well. I was cross-eyed starting when I was 10 months old until I was 15, and my body ignores all input from my right eye to deal with the inconsistencies. If I cover my left eye I can see from my right, but usually I don't see anything out of it except sudden peripheral movements.

I got a 100% on my driving test anyway, and it never really bothers me except when people tell me my eyes are pointing in different directions. That kinda kills.

Long story short- probably not and he'll be fine.
