I've worked in social service programs for 25 years. The Feds allow a
program called AFDC-I. The "I" is for incapacitated. Both parent s can be
in the home when one of them is disabled. I can't imagine that the state of
Florida doesn't have this program. Your husbands condition sounds serious
enough for you to be able to qualify. This way he gets medicaid also. 
 
And Social Security Disability doesn't have a resources qualification. SSI
does. And, you don't need to have a lawyer to get through the appeals
process. Just go to all the doctor appointments and keep appealing. The
final appeal is to go to court and let a judge decide. None of this
requires extra money. Just bring all the medical reports with you. 
 
If your husband's condition is as serious as it sounds, you have an
excellent chance of prevailling in the Social Security process. 
 
Actually, your post sounds like a scam.
