Need Help Applying For Social Security Disability Benefits?
Silver & Silver is here for you. Whether Social Security considers you “disabled” under its rules and regulations is based on whether you are able to engage in sustained, full time work activity.
The agency considers you disabled under its rules if it determines that:
- You cannot do the work you did previously;
- You cannot adjust to other work because of your medical condition(s); and
- Your disability has lasted or is likely to last for at least one year or will result in death.
Understanding the Challenges of Applying for Social Security Disability Benefits
Many assume that explaining their situation directly to a Social Security clerk will suffice for obtaining disability benefits. However, the reality is more complex. Social Security requires applicants to rigorously prove their disability according to a strict legal definition under the Social Security Disability Program. This involves a detailed and often challenging legal process.
The Social Security Disability system is governed by an intricate array of rules, regulations, and procedures. Applications often fail due to various reasons such as the medical provider not understanding the legal definition of disability, Social Security personnel not properly securing necessary medical evidence, or mishandling of an appeal. These factors can significantly hinder a successful claim.
