| What Is Social Security Disability |
| If you work long enough at a job, which is covered under the provisions of the Social Security Act, and become disabled, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits. The most important thing is that you worked at a job where taxes were withheld. A “disability” can be physical, or emotional, or some combination of both. In order to be elgible for benefits, you must have a disability severe enough to keep you from working in any regular paying job for at least one year, 12 consecutive months. While working, you must have contributed to the system during enough quarters of work. The test for eligibility for Social Security Disability benefits is not whether you can go back to a job you have lost. It is not whether you have been able to find a job recently.The test is whether you are physically and emotionally CAPABLE of doing a job that is generally available in the national economy.Furthermore, to obtain Social Security Disability benefits, you must have a doctor state that you are disabled. Your doctor’s opinion should be supported by clinical findings and/or laboratory findings. Unfortunately, many genuinely disabling conditions are difficult to diagnose by objective testing. In cases like that, it is up to us to present your doctor’s reports properly, and to convince the government that you deserve your Social Security Disability benefits.
