How do you qualify for Social Security Disability?
Many people qualify for SDDI/SSI but are just unaware of it. If we believe that you are eligible, we can then assist you with applying and processing your claim for Social Security Disability. Social Security payments can improve the quality of your life and financial security. To quality for Social Security Disability, there are several criteria you must meet. Social Security defines disability as the inability to engage in any substantial, gainful activity (work) by reason of a severe physical or mental impairment expected to last for a period of 12 months or result in death. Social Security Administration also takes into consideration your age, education and work history when reviewing your claim for disability. Some of the most common qualifying physical and mental impairments include cancer, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, orthopedic injuries, heart disease, and severe depression and anxiety.
Understanding Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
If you are not eligible for Social Security Disability Income (SSDI), you may be eligible to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI). SSI is not dependent on your work history. If you are suffering from a severe physical or mental impairment to the point where you cannot earn substantial wages, and you do not have a substantial work history to qualify you for SSDI, we can help you determine if you are eligible for SSI benefits.
