How to help son with DI claim? Need advice on forms, online process, and getting POA

I found a way to solve disability claim authorization issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IXLmQGPPdE

I've been through this process before. Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather all necessary information: personal details, employment history, and medical records. 2. Fill out the Claim for Disability Insurance (DI) Benefits form online. It's called DE 2501. 3. Get legal authorization to act on your son's behalf. You'll probably need a Power of Attorney (POA). 4. Make a list of questions or issues you want to discuss with the agent. Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more info on any of these steps.

ugh, the DI system is such a nightmare. I've been trying to help my sister for months and we're still stuck. Good luck, OP!

Hey, I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Pro tip: Keep DETAILED records of everything. Every call, every form, every piece of mail. You never know when you'll need to reference something.

Has anyone had experience with getting a POA for someone with a mental disability? My brother has schizophrenia and I'm not sure how to approach this.

Just wanted to say kudos to you for helping your son out. The world needs more people like you 💯❤️

Yo, has anyone tried using AI to fill out these forms? I bet it could do a better job than half the bureaucrats working there 🤣

PSA: There's a free legal aid clinic downtown that helps with disability claims. They might be able to help you with the POA stuff too. I'll try to find the contact info and post it later.
