Can you qualify for Social Security disability?
Answer these questions:
__ Yes __ No Have you worked at least 5 out of the past 10
years?
__Yes __ No Do you have a severe medical condition that
makes you unable to do any full time work?
__ Yes __ No Has that condition lasted for at least 12
consecutive months, or is it expected to last
for at least 12 consecutive months OR to
end in death?
__ Yes __ No Have you had medical treatment that has
established the nature and severity of the
medical condition?
If you answered Yes to all 4 of these questions you may be able to get Social Security disability benefits. You will need medical records to show the date your impairment caused you to be unable to work, the severity of your symptoms and what medical care you have received. We refer to this as "the medical evidence." Without strong medical evidence you cannot receive disability benefits.
Other factors that will be considered are: your age, education and past employment history.
Remember that over two-thirds of all claims will be denied. This isn't as bad as it seems. Many of these denials will be overturned and the claims will be paid on appeal. Appeals are nearly always necessary for Social Security disability claims. For a free case evaluation or help with an application or appeal, contact the Forsythe Firm at (256) 799-0297.
