I don't know what to do anymore

Years ago I applied for SSI benefits for my brother who has autism. He was refused. Through the county he was finally examined and got official help and a diagnosis. I applied once again and he received disability and a check in the mail for $30,000 back to when he was first turned down! They do turn you down the first time.

I’m glad your brother is receiving what he needs. Most people get a back payment from the day to the day you become a social security number. The back pay is normal. They will pay you back the amount since they first wrongfully denied you.
I received a small amount because I was not out on workers comp. I lived on my wife’s pension.
Now I’ve been on SSDI for over 10 years with no deductible or copays. Pre existing conditions included. No junk insurance like an advantage plan. They may hook you by promising all kinds of benefits but after a year or so money goes to shareholders
