To make a long story short both of my parent passed away with in a 8 month period of each other. My mother on 2/28/2014 and my father on 6/26/2013. My sister Kelly E Ervay is 48 years old and was born with Cerebral palsy. Kelly has always lived with my parents and they have always provided a roof and have taken care of my sister. Since their passing I have taken on the role of my parent. We applied for my parents SS 4/17/2014 and we were advised by Mrs. Coogler that she would qualify for 75% if my mother retirement and should have been collecting against my fathers after his passing. We received a letter dated 5/11/2014 that she did not qualify because The facts they had did not prove she is Sherry A Ervays child. Than when we called we were advised that she did not qualify because back in 20087 when she did work she made $850.00 more than the allowable amount so that makes her a disabled adult child to collect against my parents SS. So this has been an ongoing fight with SS and I have been advised to contact your office to aid with assisting us. I was advised by an employee at SS that she should qualify for my mother income. She is a ligate handicap lady and I feel she has fallen through the crack of our system. Kelly E Ervay has tried to work as from Her SS statement of income. Her lease is up on 3/20/2014 at Paces Brook apts and I have no were for my sister to live. I live in a townhouse and she would not be able to get up and down the stairs . We signed this lease the day we were advised by SS that she would receive my mother income and later found out that she is not eligible. I have exhausted every bit of my income to make sure her rent is paid. We have gone to numerous apt based on income and some of them not safe for her and other the waiting list is 2 years. On 12/30/2014 we were given Richland Lexington county disability special needs board we have contact both on 1/12/2014 and we were told she does not qualify. We have emailed and called so many places and I feel we have exhausted everything we can and keep getting told no. can you please revive this and see if you can assist me with SS and finding house for my sister. I can provide any notes and document from SS and phone calls if needed. Thank you in advance for reviewing our story. Well I have reached out to the State rep and he forwarded me to Congressman Joe Wilsons office, They got me in touch with Tony Williams at SS who is their contact and we have done paperwork and he received everything from me last week 02/21/2015, the last I talked to him was on Friday 02/23/2015 and now I cannot get him to call me back. I have left a message every day this week and even called numerous times without leaving a message. I emailed my contact at Congressman Joe Wilson office and she is on vacation until next week. I am so desperate and I do not have the money to pay my sister bills. Who else can I contact being I cannot get SS to call me back? I truly appreciate your assistance!!!!
