Broncos38 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Well I have been on abilify for four years and have been slowly getting smaller doses. And I want to be off it cause of increased urinating, tremors muscle twitching. I was on geodon for a while. I am really hoping to get off of it next week cause I got no more stress. I got a fiancée now, apartment. I got nothing to worry about anymore. I am well enough to take over my ssdi. I don't want a payee anymore. I am well enough to manage my money. I worked into it for ten years. My parents think that I can't manage my money but I have done it before. They told me that the government said they I can't touch it but how can they tell me i can't touch it when I work into for so long. My dad saved up some money for me for a new car but I don't want a new car anyway. My dad is assuming that my car will break down every week which is absurd. I want my money that he saved up and putting crap into my head for a while and I'm sick of it by now. Link to post Share on other sites
d0nnivain Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 You are asking for sophisticated & specialized legal advice interpreting federal law in the US. You have posted this Q on message board populated by international non lawyers. If you really don't want a rep payee any more consult an attorney in your area who specializes in Social Security law & that person may be able to advise you. Personally I think it's a terrible idea the caps & restrictions are very complicated. If you end up with too much money above the caps you could forfeit your entire entitlement. Be very careful. More importantly certain diagnoses which entitle you to SSDI by definition require you to have a rep payee. If you come forward saying you no longer need one, you may a review of your benefits that could possibly result in their discontinuance. yes it would be wonderful to be more independent. I know you want to provide for your FI but proceed cautiously. Link to post Share on other sites
