I am losing my mind. I put on the program and they've done nothing so far but take my money.
I stopped going to the gym or sleeping well. Now high blood pressure and they're told that’s not their problem. They never call.
I don’t know if I have ever been more isolated. I might have cancer but I can’t go anywhere to find out. Because I will not have money for the co-payment because of them.
Colud anyone give some info please?

Friend just gave up trying to 'work with him'--she petitioned the courts and was given guardianship. SHE gets his SS, and pays his bills and shops for him, pays for the balance of his apartment out of her own pocket and doesn't give him enough cash to buy enough alcohol to last a month. In fact, she actually does random drug testing. He's been sober for a year now, but for my friend. it's like having another child--a 65 yo child. She said the only vice she'l support is his addiction to smoking, which she HATES, but he's lost so much, she says if his smokes are that important, she'll get them.
IDK how she works Dr's visits, etc., but she does it all.
In her case, the COURTS appt her as Payee. IDK if APS was involved or not. My guess would be yes, they were, at least initially.
Your question is confusing to the point that I do not know if you have a payee or you think APS is going to take over and hasn't. You can call SS and ask if Payee has been filed for. I would think you would need to sign off unless its been found you are incompetent to do ur own finances.

Can you tell us what problems you have with your current care and placement?
An APS social worker or lawyer would be appointed conservatorship in court and become the payee for the OP's benefits.
How to regain your own autonomy to where you will be in charge of your own funds is to petition the court to have your conservator removed. You will have to demonstrate to the judge and others that you are mentally competent and do not need a conservator to handle your affairs.
