I've heard it's hard to get disability for depression/social anxiety/asperger's if you have money in the bank alrready, that they require you to be destitute.

I hve $5k in a Roth IRA, and I'm thinking about getting disability after being out of work for two years, end even for the last five years work has been sporadic, mostly living the NEET lifestyle.

I had a 5150 suicde two years ago, and have only worked one job (for a month) since then. Since the 5150 I'm being treated for depression, and now I'm seeing a therapist.

My parents don't know yet, but I've been cashing out my Roth IRA a little at a time and buying the usual hikki gear; Warhammer vidya etc.

Can I get on disability with money in the bank, or is there a way around it or...?

What about welfare?
