Is he a Veteran? Is he getting Social Security? How old? Can you post additional details? If he is a veteran, review www.va.gov website and try to apply for VA benefits. Contact your local Area on Aging. Where do you live? Blessings, Bridget

Even if he has been denied Social Security Disability, appeal it. It awful to say but most people are denied the first time they apply. You don't need an attorney or "representative" to help with the appeal process, just complete the forms. All an attorney or representative will do that you cannot do for yourself is to take your money. You may have to appeal more than once, just keep at it. Good luck to you.
Please stay on topic or ask a new question.
