GET A FREE DISABILITY CLAIM EVALUATION

Do you meet the basic requirements to receive Social Security disability?

To find out, ask us for a free claim evaluation.  We will look at your age, education, medical impairments and work history and determine if you meet basic requirements.  Only Social Security, however, can make the final decision on whether or not a person is eligible for benefits.

A good candidate for SSDI benefits....

• has a solid work history and has worked at least 5 out of the most recent 10-year period.
• is presently not working and is not medically able to perform any kind of full-time work.
• has recent and current medical treatment (records) that prove his or her medical condition. 
• Persons age 50 or over have a better chance of being approved, although some younger individuals with very severe impairments do get approved, too.

The following factors make it much more difficult to get Social Security disability benefits:

• Little or no past or recent work history*
• Still working and earning over $1,180 per month
• Inadequate medical treatment / medical records
•  Quit work for some reason other than a medical disability (got laid off, plant closed, taking care of a sick family member, etc.)
• Younger individuals can be approved but it is more difficult for persons under age 50.

*If you don't have sufficient work credits to be covered under SSDI (Title II), you may be able to file an SSI or Title XVI claim, which doesn't require work.  You will have to prove medical disability and also meet the financial requirements for SSDI.
