[blindlaw] SSI payments

[James Weisberg]

My suggestion would be to seek out a compassionate doc, develop a respectful
relationship.  Explain the situation and ask if he/she would be willing to
help you.  My guess is most kind compassionate docs would lean towards a
"yes."  This can EVEN be done in Cal with Medi-Cal!!

you can always get the form signed by a doctor that treated or evaluated you

in the past or go to a county medical facility for such an evaluation.
