I may be oversimplifying things but it's my impression that if you
paid into the Social Security system and become disabled, you get
SSDB; on the other hand, if you can't make a living because of your
disability and you haven't paid into the Social Security system via
Medicare/FICA taxes, you get SSI. Of course as I said, I could be
totally wrong.
So just because someone has CP, it doesn't mean they qualify for
Medicare Part D, or any part of Medicare.

Chester,
Since the amount of money most people who get SSI receive is pretty low,
you probably qualify for Medicaid on income level. People with CP don't
_automatically_ qualify for any government benefits.
