I'm also going to do a little more research on the fact that you recieve SSDI from your dad, which is different than recieving it on your own accord. And I'm not sure if marriage would affect it since it's not based on your work history.
Cariann, these might apply to you to. Have you had any jobs in the past few years? How old are you, I can help you figure out if you might qualify for SSDI. When you applied for SSDI did you also apply for SSI?
