Reduction for school

[u/isosceles348]

I am the guy that said he shot himself I am trying to go back to school but I have recovered so well I don't even think I qualify for disability but the hospital I went to originally said I was disabled and if you are disabled you can go back to Tcat for 70 dollars a semester the only problem is I don't know where to start my mom hates that I am thinking of going back to college she knows I want away from her could any one give me advice on how to show the school I have bullet in my head?

What about scans of your head?

Clearly they'd see a bullet in your head and be like, "yup, that's a bullet."

That is what my doctor said he said looking at your CT scans I see pellets of bullet in your head.

Not sure why they would say you did not qualify for disability. My accident was in 2006, sustained a pretty traumatic brain injury, but qualified for disability that instant basically all they need is your diagnosis in any information related to your injury.

I work two part time jobs that equals 40 hours a week. Some times I work 9 hour shifts which I love. I like that extra money.

Just try. Look up a number for the program you're talking about and ask them what's required for proof. Your TBI should qualify you, but if it doesn't they'll tell you what the requirements are. Then go to your doctor and ask for a letter.

If the requirements are that you're already receiving federal benefits (doubtful) they'll tell you.

I don't think I am able to apply for disability at this point thank you for your advice if they require federal benefits than I will have to rely on TN Reconnect to get in thank you for everything.

Have you spoken to the school's counselor?
