Can you get social security benefits for an adopted child with fetal alcohol syndrome? Our son (adopted) has been diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome, can we get social security benefits for him?
Provided that FAS affects the ability Childs learn or function in a normal mode and you are the child's legal parent and the child would be right - there are lawyers who specialize in law and an application for SSI is denied, I would contact a lawyer who specializes in this area - they do not get paid unless you win the SSI application and reach of children. Since FAS allow extra medical expenses, etc., children in general are also eligible for Medicaid to supplement other insurance available to them.
Yes, if your child's legal guardian and they are disabled, contact your service walfare Disabilty to make a claim for your child.
