What is Social Security Disability?

When most people think of Social Security, they may believe it's a government program that only provides retirement benefits. Social Security, however, includes a disability component that provides benefits to people younger than full retirement age who have medical conditions.

People who have not worked long enough to qualify for SSD benefits may be eligible for compensation through another program, Supplemental Security Income (SSI). SSI provides monthly disability benefits.

More than 2.5 million people apply for Social Security Disability benefits each year. Most of the claims will be denied. Sometimes, a claimant has made an application mistake. Whatever the reason, it's important to hire a tough-minded attorney for legal guidance. With a skilled lawyer on your side, you can appeal the decision knowing that your claim will be in good hands.

Am I Eligible for Social Security?

Good candidates for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits may be people who have sustained severe injuries or have disabilities or conditions that that have prevented them from working for 12 months. A candidate for Social Security Disability benefits also should have worked long enough (usually for five out of the last 10 years) in a job that is covered under the provisions of the Social Security Act.

Denied A Social Security Disability Claim? Don't Give Up! WE CAN HELP!

Unfortunately, SSD benefits are difficult to get. Social Security turns down between 70 and 75 percent of the applications for disability. But don't give up if your claim is initially denied. After the initial SSD denial, you still have options. You must act quickly before the appeal process ends and take a series of steps to get your case reconsidered. More than half of the applications that are initially denied are accepted after reconsideration or a hearing. Your chances of success can increase when you have a dedicated Social Security Disability lawyer working with you during the appeals process.
