Hemphill, TX

I’m getting pressured by my parents to find work, but I’m afraid that if I do - the disability benefits claim will be denied. Where I live now, a car is required(San Antonio), I live outside the area of public transportation and the majority of the employment opportunities are meant for people way younger than me - also those with a car and with the ability to work at multiple places during the week. How screwed am I?

I have been a father for over 25 years now.
I feel your parents should have more love and caring for you with the disability you suffer from.
Have you ever looked into a group home with people who also suffer?
You will be able to keep your disability insurance that will also pay for your room and board. Your parents will not have to worry about you finding a job an knowing you're ok.
Have a blessed day

This is actually for the bexar county (San Antonio area) where I live and the Austin area, so this can help others too if they have the same question as I have.

That actually helps me out a lot, thanks. That rests my mood a bit. A little bit, but a bit is more than it was before.
