Bonnie told us to reapply when she became an adult, and we were not informed about the appeal process. So that’s what we did.

We had to appeal SS several times and it wasn’t until 2 years later she was determined eligible. During those 2 years, she attended a school based transition program as she was still eligible for special education services.

We later learned
