My 7 year old denied social security on both issues
I live in Missouri. I have a 7 year old son whose father was killed 6 years ago- social security denied benefits for my son because his father (who died when he was 21) didn't have enough work credits. My son won a wrongful death suit and has $17,000 in the bank that cannot be used until he turns 18. A couple months after my son turned 3 he was diagnosed with a brain tumor (pineoblastoma) again, he was denied any benefits this time due to the money he has in the bank that we cannot use.
I have contacted a lawyer on these issues and they seem to agree with social security, but I still believe that there has to be some loop-hole somewhere. Any advise?
