Is my son eligable for Social Security if he has ADHD and Anxiety?

Question

my son was diagnosed with adhd and anxiety 2 yrs ago and i was told he can recieve social security. i need honest people only. i have taken him to 3 different psychologist and it is in his medical records that he has this disability.

Answer 1

My son is ADHD with bipolar disorder and he is eligible.  I don't collect on it because I want him to have something when he gets older.  But he is capable of getting it so I would assume your son is eligible.

Answer 2

I think your son may be better off if he was encouraged to be more mainstream and his disabilities were less played up so as to make him try to be an asset to society rather than a liability.

Answer 3

It probably depends on how severe his symptoms are.

Answer 4

Wow!  

Way to bilk the system, 1 more reason I won't have SS when I get old.
