My son's father died when I was pregnant and I have applied for SSI benefits twice and was denied. I am now waiting for a hearing. I am not able to obtain paternity because his family refuses to do a DNA test. What can I do to get my son approved to receive his father's benefits?

Were you and the father married? I would think that would be all you would need. I might be wrong, but I would think a marriage license would be enough proof. Why don't the paternal parents want a DNA done? There must be a reason for that. I don't really think any of us on this site can give you any real advice.
It appears that you and your son's father were not married - correct?
You will have to prove your case for sure.
Why can't you get a DNA test done?
Those are some of the questions that need to be answered before you request help anywhere.
I do not believe anyone on this site can help you.
