My son has a learning disability, severe learning disorder auditory processing disorder combined with severe short term memory issues. He had support from pre -k until he left in 11th grade. He could not function without support. That was why I applied for his benifits a year ago.
I received a letter from SSI stating that, we had your case reviewed by someone else as you asked. It states we still find we were correct in denying your case by the facts, etc. I am summing up the answer they gave me. Also it states in the area below that the following.
Why we can't pay you:
You do not qualify because the facts we have do not show you are John Doe's child.
My x has passed away now. He signed our son's birth records after the hospital because we were not married at the time. He is listed as the father on all the records in the hospital etc. I just need to know is my son being denied because of the 2nd reason or first? It seems as though they are using the second reason to deny my son.

Your information is a little confusing. How old is your son? Where did his support come from all those years?
Are you applying for SSI for your son? Did you apply - was turned down and you ask for a review?
How long ago did your boyfriend die? Did you apply and receive survivors benefit when your son's father died? If you did not apply for these benefits, I can only ask why? If you had applied for survivors benefits then support may have continued "forever" if your child was found in need of that support.
Or where has he been receiving his "support" from?
Apparently their is some doubt as to who is the father of your son in the eyes of the "judges" of the SSI so you will have to come up with "proof" and that may not be easy. It is possible to have a DNA test done with your son and a very close relative of your boyfriend and if this is positive then SSI may drop this issue but I do not know about the disability issue.
I am only asking these questions because there are a lot of gaps in your question. No one here can help you with something like this.
It appears that you may have used your ability to ask for another review but only an attorney who specializes in SSI can really give you correct information. You may be able to discuss your case free of charge and they will know if they can take it any further.
A trip to the Social Security office may be beneficial but I feel sure they will not be able to really help you.
