Autism Spectrum Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Insomnia, Chronic Fatigue – Student, 25 years old

Our client suffered from autism spectrum disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, insomnia and chronic fatigue since early childhood and had no prior work history and was therefore not insured for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. She was also over the resource limit for Supplemental Security Insurance (SSI) benefits. We filed a disabled adult child (DAC) claim and submitted an application for child’s insurance benefits based on the earnings record of one of her parents who had recently retired. We gathered and submitted numerous medical records and treating medical provider statements to prove that our client’s disability began before age 22. The client was awarded DAC benefits shortly after the records and medical provider statements were submitted.
