A Disability Attorney Can Improve Your Chances of an Approved Disability Claim

The requirements to qualify for social security disability benefits are fairly simple and straightforward, even if the process itself is complex and difficult to navigate. The difficult part of the process comes from submitting the correct and complete information to substantiate your disability claim, and to maintain current and up-to-date treatments for your condition. Meeting deadlines and completing mandatory paperwork can be an onerous and time-consuming task, but with the help of a disability attorney, a lot of the worry and stress can be relieved.

To qualify for social security disability benefits, there are a few requirements a claimant needs to fulfill. First, you need to have worked enough to pay enough into the system in order to withdraw benefits. Second, your injury or illness must prevent you from working at the job you’ve held in the past or from similar work for a minimum of one year. If you have lost your job from a disability, if you are expected to be out of work for 12 months you may also qualify. In addition, if you are able to return to work you must earn less than a certain monthly amount as set by SSA standards in order to receive continuing disability benefits.
For SSI benefits, which is based on financial need and not on the amount of taxes contributed, your assets cannot exceed the current amount of $2000. This does not include your primary vehicle or place of residence, and your income cannot exceed an amount also set by the SSA. These requirements seem simple, but the complex part comes from filing and proving your disability claim. This is based solely on your medical condition as substantiated by medical evidence provided by your health care providers.

In addition to reports and notes, a detailed statement regarding your disability and how it impacts both your working ability and activities of daily living will greatly increase your chances of a favorable ruling on your disability claim.
