Just a couple words of advice . A family member is on SSI and also on a disability insurance from his work. They prescribe him 80mg oxy and 4 10mg percs daily. They test him monthly to make sure the medication is in his system. If he comes up with a hot urine(pot), he would lose his pain meds and disability insurance. SSI however you should not have ANY problems. Isint it BS that the docs will prescribe all these opiates and if someone actually uses somthing that REALLY helps them they would lose everything? Ridiculous state I live in :P
