Caring for an adult child with a permanent disability can be a challenging task. We know that over the years and through even the toughest of times you have worked hard to safeguard and support your child, to see that he or she has received the proper care, and to ensure that all of his or her financial needs and obligations were met. We also understand that as you approach retirement age, you may begin to wonder how you will be able to sustain the income necessary to provide that same level of care. What will happen to your child once you hit retirement age and begin collecting Social Security benefits? What if you were to become disabled or pass away? How will your child’s needs be met then?

For those parents who have an adult child, who became permanently disabled due to an injury or illness before he or she turned 22, there are SSD benefits which he or she may be eligible to receive. These types of benefits can be paid out to a disabled adult child at the point in which one of his or her parents begins receiving Social Security retirement benefits or when that parent becomes deceased. To increase your chances of obtaining SSD benefits on behalf of your adult child, we strongly recommend you enlist the assistance of an experienced Social Security Disability advocate in North Carolina.
